Over the weekend I felt like I got things accomplished. I made a Costco run on Saturday which involved getting a step stool to reach the highest parts of my kitchen and ceiling fan cords, gobs and gobs of granola bars and I partook in purchasing 16 chicken breasts.<\/p>\n

Mmm I do love costco.<\/p>\n

On Sunday I did a little work in my dad\u2019s backyard clearing our future garden. It was hard work but neat to see the results. We will have veggies next year, I can feel it!<\/p>\n

\u2026BUT the most exciting thing of the weekend? My discovery of this technique\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3591<\/p>\n

I took this photo this morning on my porch. Very little was done in Photoshop to manipulate the image. So how does it look this cool, do you ask? It is a technique called TTV (through the viewfinder). When I stumbled upon it I could not make heads\/tails of it because I didn\u2019t really understand the concept of a twin lens reflex <\/a>camera. I am a one lens reflex kinda girl, always have been. So what is with this two lens stuff? I just couldn\u2019t wrap my head around how it works, but it is all crystal clear now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Viewfinder photography (TtV) is defined <\/a>as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera.\u201d Huh? Yeah. I suspect it is clear as mud for you right now, too. But really, in essence, you take the photograph with your SLR camera {or any other camera} by looking through the view finder of the twin lens reflex. Anyways \u2013 I\u2019m not great at typing this out and explaining it\u00a0and it really requires a visual to understand it {i think} which is accessible from here<\/a> and here<\/a>. After seeing what other people have done with it, I feel like it is going to be a challenge to make a \u2018bad\u2019 photo from this. The look of these is something that I really love and I have been dapling in it with the tools of Photoshop, but doing it \u2018au-natural\u2019 is even better.<\/p>\n

Well I must say that this technique has given me new inspiration and creative juice. I am super excited to practice this more and I think this would be an awesome thing to work into my sessions. Oh, I\u2019m in love. And the best thing? My dad\u2019s ENORMOUS collection of cameras contained 3 \u2026 yes, 3 Twin Lens Reflex cameras ready for me to use. Horay! I am headed to IA for the weekend for really endless amounts of fun! Wine\/Food tonight, Hog Roast tomorrow and Wonderful Wedding on Saturday. Oof! I\u2019ve got me new camera set up but I don\u2019t know how much it will be broken out. Either way, I should have fun stuff to post when I get back.<\/p>\n
