[Podcast Mini-Challenge] Frames and Borders

view profile

chrismaverick is a group administrator chrismaverick  Pro User  says:

On this week's Podcast we will be discussing TTV shots. Usually we like to make the podcast mini-challenge something that has to do with the show's topic, but we realize that not everyone will be able to do a TTV.

So instead, the challenge is "Frames and Borders"

What does that mean? Well, it can mean almost anything. We're looking for a shot that makes interesting use of a frame. You can use a frame generated by TTV. You can add one in photoshop, or you can create a "natural frame" by standing in a doorway or other structure that frames the subject (you).

We look forward to seeing what you come up with. The best photos will be featured in next week's show and one will be the photo of the week.

As always, all entries must be a 365 Days self-portrait, taken sometime this week (Sunday through Saturday).

Good luck and happy shooting!

-Mav

EDIT:
Just in case you don't get the podcast through iTunes (i.e. you watch it on the blog), there is a companion piece by James Bruntz, a.k.a. Sick Little Monkey, that gives some more info on TTV using Macro lenses... good stuff!

Oh good, I'm really excited about seeing the tutorial. I've always loved TTV shots, but never quite known how to do them. *Awaits eagerly*.

Good place to start www.russmorris.com/ttv/02.html
These old cameras are on ebay for as little as a dollar and shipping. Besides for something like this the more scratches on the lens the better right.

Another TTV! But this one's a fake one, with the border, dust, and scratches all added in Photoshop. It was surprisingly easy.

Not a TTV (I've got to get me a camera appropriate for it...), but an interpretation of the 'frame' theme.

(It feels like I've been doing TTV week forever! I don't know how I ever managed to stick with a theme for an entire 200 days last time. :S)

I just have to come here and give a shout out to the Through the Viewfinder Group.

There you can find links to tutorials and discussions of tips and different cameras, etc. The guys who started the group really started the TTV technique, and I thought they should get some credit. :-)

Go check it out!

"black and white world though a color lens" by Net_Guy
Day 17 4-2-08
Unfortunately my duriflex ebay auction will not end for two days, so I had to fake it. So I figured I would go for a look that could not be shot with conventional TTV but kept the concept.

Day 18 4-3-08
The black framing on the face matches and accents the eyes.

Dark Shirts Make for Better Silhouettes. (Day №160.)

This was entirely by accident, actually, but when I was looking at the picture this morning I noticed the right border of the window and the moulding on the wall frame my head. It’s not the best natural framing, but I like it anyway. :)
