http://www.flickr.com/groups/throughtheviewfinder/ Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the <strong>viewfinder of any camera</strong> with <em>another</em> camera. <strong>Group and Pool Rules</strong> <strong>Fakes, montage, or anything that is not true TtV* is not allowed.</strong> If you join this group and then start adding non-TtV or fake TtV shots, and yes, even TtV shots not properly tagged, they will be deleted <strong>without warning or notification</strong>. Do it twice and you'll be dropped from the group. No exceptions! Please follow the rules. They're so simple! *If you are the least bit confused about true Through the Viewfinder photography, check out this tutorial: <a href="http://www.russmorris.com/ttv/" rel="nofollow">www.russmorris.com/ttv/</a> <strong>Tag your pictures with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ttv/">TtV</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/throughtheviewfinder/">through the viewfinder</a>, and the camera used (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/duaflex/">Duaflex</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/starflex/">Starflex</a>, whatever).</strong> <strong>A limit of two shots posted to the group pool per day.</strong> Color and contrast manipulation is allowed. In fact, Photoshop Actions such as <a href="http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm#Urban_Acid" rel="nofollow">Urban Acid</a> work quite well! The bottom camera or viewing camera must be in one piece as its original intention, a camera. Photos taken using disassembled cameras and homemade lenses are not allowed.
