The idea is that you take a photo (usually digital) through the viewfinder of another, older (usually film) camera. Most folks shoot through TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) cameras, which have a large, waist level viewfinder which one can shoot through it with a standard 50mm lens or even a zoom lens. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/throughtheviewfinder\/\" target=\"_blank\">Others experiment<\/a> with everything from old range finders to box cameras, and even toy cameras. Some cheaper versions of the waist level TLR cameras can be had for a few dollars on ebay. Since the functionality of the camera really doesn&#8217;t matter (you are only using the viewfinder), as long as the view piece is crack, mold, or fog free, the camera can be otherwise broken and still serve it&#8217;s purpose for you. Some folks even desire the dusty cracked, or fogged viewfinders for some added grittiness.<\/p>\n<p>I, on the other hand, don&#8217;t currently own a TLR or any other camera worthy of this project (yet?), so I actually used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/ttvdust\/\" target=\"_blank\">some template layers that other folks have made<\/a> with their TTV cameras and simply worked them into my photos. I cheated, yes, but I had fun at it, and may consider picking up an old Kodak Duaflex sometime soon to give the real-deal a go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TTV or &#8220;Through The Viewfinder&#8221; is kind of a neat idea, though the results are sometimes very primitive looking.
