This is my new Mamiya C33 (TLR), a Japanese camera from the 60’s. I decided to buy it (a Medium Format camera) for the higher resolution in the dark room – It hasn’t needed it’s battery’s changed for about forty years because the camera’s spring loaded! Here’s some shots of it’s exterior and viewfinder: / / I’m don’t know if the shots I took with it will actually develop properly because the camera’s fairly beaten up. My fingers are crossed!
Parallax Error - Please help!

Parallax Error!- / / When composing my shots through …

Parallax Error!- / / When composing my shots through the viewfinder of my recently acquired Mamiya c33 (a twin lens camera), I experience what I think is called the Parallax error. Basically I inadvertently crop the final negative because the perspective I see through the top lens (the viewfinder lens) is about five centimeters above the film chamber lens. This is only a problem for macro photography when the Parallax error is very obvious. My only solution right now, is to wind my tripod up about five centimeters, so the bottom lens occupies the space where the top lens was. If I want to tilt the anlge of the camera when composing however, this doesn’t work, because the bottom lens isn’t in line with the top one when wound up five centimeters. I’ve also tried using a length of string pulled taught between the subject and the bottom lens to try and frame it up, but this leaves a margin for error too! If anyone has any information on solving Parallax error through a more effective means, I’d be happy to hear from you! Thanks, Tom

The latest fashion. I shall be doing a whole heap of these now i know how. You need to be good at juggling cameras, however, they are so much fun. Theory: / TTV (Through The Viewfinder) photography is when you use an old medium format camera and a digital camera. / These old medium format twin reflex cameras have large viewfinders. Firstly you compose your image using the medium format camera (in my case i have used a mamiya c33) then you actually take the picture using a digital camera (here i use my pentax K10) of what is in the viewfinder of the old camera. The result, to me, is a kind of dreamy, nostalgic (yep it’s the old camera) feel. All the dust, scratches, textures, increment measurements and imperfections come straight from the viewfinder of the medium format camera used here. All you lovely ladies, Dani Di Cesare, for making me see the light. hehe, Jules Campbell for her amazing explanation on this method and Kitsmumma for providing beautiful visuals on this. / You are all so inspirational. Thank you! Pssst PJ, i know i’ve seen an old twin reflex camera on your mantel, so you best get your creative visual juices flowing too. ♥

"kneel where our loves are sleeping"
by aglaia b

...cause tomorrow is remembrance day. In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row, / That mark our place; and in the sky / The larks, still bravely singing, fly / Scarce heard amid the guns below. / We are the dead. Short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, / Loved, and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields. / Take up our quarrel with the foe: / To you from failing hands we throw / The torch; be yours to hold it high. / If ye break faith with us who die / We shall not sleep, though poppies grow / In Flanders fields. — Lt.-Col. John McCrae
