I Take Pictures Through The Viewfinder Of An Old Analog Camera

ADVERTISEMENT

It is a shame when old cameras are slowly gathering dust. They need to be used. So I took my dad’s old camera and went on a hike.

Sadly, developing film is pretty expensive, so I improvised and took the photos through the viewfinder with a digital camera (but to be honest, in the end I bought some film to try real analog photography). The camera is a “Elbaflex VX 1000”. Here are some of my favorite photos.

    I have a digital camera.... but it also has the viewfinder option. The difference is, my camera has the viewfinder positioned on the back instead of the top. What I find most intriguing about these photos is that you took a picture of a camera taking a picture. THAT was thinking outside the box, and caused me to stop and reflect - which is what art is supposed to do. Well done!

    ...Great pictures. I like your experiment here. Wish I could have one.
