TtV-ing

I finally got a chance to give TtV photography a go! 

I had the hubby build a contraption that blocked the light between my DSLR lens and the TLR viewfinder.  I was going to build it, being the engineer that I am, but I know how much my hubs likes building stuff - so I had him build it :)  The viewfinder is located at the top of the camrea, so I have to shoot downwards with my DSLR, meaning he had to build a tunnel-like contraption up from the viewfinder.  And this is what he came up with:

He built it out of some black foam board he got from work.  Right now it's held together with elastics -  a bit dodgy looking but it serves its' purpose!  He was going to tape it up, but if he did that I wouldn't be able to remove the camera.  I guess I'm not planning to the TLR for anything else huh?  I wonder if I can make a collapsable one so I can take it with me on trips. hm... :)

Here are a few TtV photos I took:

I'm loving it so far!  I can't wait to go outside and start taking photos :D
