About Through The Viewfinder

Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera.

Group and Pool Rules

Fakes, montage, or anything that is not true TtV* is not allowed.

If you join this group and then start adding non-TtV or fake TtV shots, and yes, even TtV shots not properly tagged, they will be deleted without warning or notification. Do it twice and you'll be dropped from the group. No exceptions!

Follow the rules. They are so simple!

*If you are the least bit confused about true Through the Viewfinder photography, check out this tutorial: www.russmorris.com/ttv/

Tag your pictures with TtV, through the viewfinder, and the camera used (Duaflex, Starflex, whatever).

A limit of two shots posted to the group pool per day.

Color and contrast manipulation is allowed. In fact, Photoshop Actions such as Urban Acid work quite well!)

The bottom camera or viewing camera must be in one piece as its original intention, a camera.

Photos taken using disassembled cameras and homemade lenses are not allowed. They are not considered true TtV. A separate and extremely cool group, sPiNoFF!, was created for this type of experimentation.
