I’m back from two weeks camping and slowly getting back into the swing of things. We had a brilliant time and we didn’t want to leave but coming home to a little gift from the eBay fairy made up for it. Just before I left I won this Kodak Duaflex, I’ve been looking for one for awhile so I could try some Through The Viewfinder photography:

Through the Viewfinder photography refers to taking photos through the viewfinder of old cameras using modern digital cameras, this means you can get the effect of the old camera but without having to find the right film or developing it. It’s the best of both worlds. You do have to do a bit of DIY contraption building to block out the light but there are groups on Flickr dedicated to TTV photography and I followed the tutorial here and built my contraption from a cereal box and duct tape:

I only had a little bit of light left for my first experiment but I can’t wait to try it out when I have a bit more time.
