Check out these funky ‘through the viewfinder’ images…

seagull

This grin-inducing photograph was shot by Tracy from HeyHarriet using the ‘through the viewfinder’ (TtV) method.

TtV is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera. In this case, Tracy has used her Canon digital and an old twin lens reflex Argus 75.

The process results in a square formatted photo with the characteristic black border and little unique details like specks, blurry edges and other inconsistencies that contribute to a soft image with a vintage aesthetic – which I love!

Here are some more of Tracy’s atmospheric TtV images…

Shards of turquoise ice jut out of the world’s largest lake

image by Alexey Trofimov

Lake Baikal, located in the southern part of eastern Siberia in Russia, is an incredible natural wonder of the world that one can only hope to visit at least once in their lifetime. It’s not just the oldest freshwater lake on Earth, at 20 to 25 million years old, it’s also one of the largest and deepest, holding an astounding one-fifth of the world’s freshwater.

From January to May, the lake freezes over but the water is so clear that, from the surface, you can see an astonishing 130 feet below you.

A photograph worthy natural phenomenon occurs each March, when wind, temperature differences, frost and sun in the ice crust cause cracks and ice hummocks to form.

Transparent and shining in a turquoise color, these masses of broken ice look like shards of glass rising into the sky. They are caused by the slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice as well as by the unequal structure and temperature. Now that’s one for the bucket list!

See below for more stunning images from this unique location…
