Through the Viewfinder

Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at F8. I am noticing that my 'good' eye is not good enough for using the optical viewfinder competently and that guessing becomes more than 50% of calibrating the shots. Just like driving the car in the night. It is amazing how good the brain is in complementing the deficiency of our senses. This is a close-up at about the limit of what the lens can do (approx. 70 cm).
Lost some detail as heavily cropped due to image being far left of frame.
Many thanks for any comments and favs, much appreciated

While walking through the Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Garden, my husband suggested I look through the circle of this giant leaf. It seems like the best natural camera viewfinder in the world. The history of the botanical gardens is well worth a side trip to their website. If you are interested, here is the link: www.htbg.com/index.html
At 2,500 ft Lomagnupur is one of Iceland's most spectacular mountains. It is situated on the way to the Hofn coming north from Vik. I photographed Lomagnupur on my way up to Jokulsarlon a few days ago. However, I was not really happy with the result. On the way back I thought I might have another attempt.
Rather than trying to capture the expanse of the mountain with a standard lens, I used a 16mm tilt and shift in a vertical format capturing two shots with two different degrees of shift. I had tried a straight panorama, but due to the mountain's size, there was too much perspective distortion, visible in the viewfinder.
I utilised the expanse of water sitting in front of Lomagnupur to create a small amount of reflection using only a 33-second exposure and left the stones in the bottom right of the image as a balance to the visual weight of Lomagnupur. Finally, I chose a square format as I felt it suited the composition best.

"Ready?" I called, and I got a rock, and I waited until he had me in his viewfinder.
"Okay!" he called.
I laid back my arm and I hollered, "Now!" I threw that son of a bitch as far as I could throw it.
"I don't know," I heard him shout. "I don’t do motion shots."
"Again!" I screamed, and took up another rock.

When I first switched to a DSLR with a viewfinder, I felt like said viewfinder was very limiting compared to just watching the train. While I have gotten accustomed to using my viewfinder, I decided to replicate the feeling at a popular Toronto photo location. CP 8021 leads CP 7015 on a mid afternoon 421 through the city as it begins its journey to Winnipeg.
I like the roundness of these stones. Nothing too complicated in this structure though the third stone up rests on it's weight sitting in a small niche, with the top stones keeping it weighted and angled in the right direction.
A very gusty morning, so not the easiest time to balance stones.
Shortly after I'd photographed this the rain came down and lasted all day.
I was taken with some others' shots using old camera viewfinders so I had fun creating my own fake one till I find a camera
a lovely vision of the ocean blue.
Another shot from my lovely Ferry ride. A little different in my editing, added a little color to it.
Thank you all so very much!
Going to bed now. I managed to stay up late for this :-)

That is how I see the world... framed through a viewfinder (even if it is not there).
Have a great weekend guys! Squeeze every drop of fun out of it!
At the end of the same dive with the flame lobster (previous post), we stopped in the shallows to search for grass squid.
Expectations were low. These squid are tiny - think the size of your pinky fingernail. They are floating in a soup of sargassum bits and pieces, so they are well camouflaged. And to top it all off, we are in shallow water (2-3m) with waves rolling through to slosh this slurry of stuff back and forth. Placing them in the viewfinder is hard but even if you can do that, you still need to get the camera's autofocus to lock on to the right thing. I have plenty of blurry pics and a bunch of sharp pics of seaweed fragments. But all you need is one to work!
Note, this was shot with ambient light (because we were so shallow). Without strobes, the shutter speed could be raised above 1/250th, which was definitely helpful.
C'est un viseur optique très pratique. Je viens de finir de nettoyer les éléments avant et arrière à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur. Il a des montures amovibles pour les objectifs 50 et 90 mm. Le cadre de 35 mm est vissé, tandis que les cadres de 50 et 90 mm sont maintenus par friction. Le corps s'incline via une came sur le collier derrière l'élément arrière pour compenser la parallaxe. C'est l'alternative la moins chère en ce moment qui a une bonne qualité optique et qui a l'air sympa.
This is a very serviceable optical viewfinder. I just finished cleaning the front & rear elements inside & out. It has detachable frames for 50 & 90mm lenses. The 35mm frame is screwed on, while the 50 & 90mm frames are held on by friction. The body tilts via a cam on the collar behind the rear element to compensate for parallax. It's the least expensive alternative right now that has good optical quality, and it looks nice.
