First TTV

BlipCentral - I know this looks like a border or a frame but its not, honest! It is two images with black backgrounds merged, the one on the right is my first TTV and I have no idea how to take a TTV shot without a frame.

I reckon TTV qualifies for this week's assignment, blip madness. I have bought a vintage camera (the Kodak Duaflex) to use as a kind of retro filter on my Canon 20D. I have built a contraption so that I can focus on the Duaflex viewfinder with my Canon macro lens. Its a bit like using a periscope, all the action is a mirror image which has taken a bit of getting used to. The contraption is just short of half a meter as my macro lens is a 100mm.

All in the name of giving a particular look and feel to the photograph - madness. Still I have been inspired by some of the great results that members of blip have achieved and I really like the look and feel using it. Hopefully with a bit of practice I'll get the hang of it. Our poor long suffering blip dog, Cousteau, got stalked in the garden today. Couldn't even lick his bone in peace.
