This is my favorite ttv that I have found on flickr. It is by my favorite flickr member, House Of Six Cats. He has inspired me to start altering some of my images and making them ttvs.

TTV in Photoshop

Since joining flickr I have been learning a lot about different types of photography. I had been admiring the work of one photographer who sells prints on Etsy, House of Six Cats. It turns out that House of Six Cats also has a page on flickr. Through his work on flickr, I have learned about Through The Viewfinder(TTV) Photgraphy. "Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera."-Through The Viewfinder flickr Group. I have browsed through several websites on TTV and have learned a few things about the types of contraptions they use to shoot this cool shots. Since I already own a Yashica Mat and a Macro Lens for my N65, I intend to build some sort of contraption to use that equipment. However, I have yet to find time to build my contraption. In the meantime, I searched google for TTV and Photoshop. I found this tutorial for how to create "fake" TTVs in Photoshop. Here are a few examples of my results.
