TTV photography with a Ful-Vue box camera image by on2alan (Image rights)

TTV is the abbreviation for through the viewfinder photography. This is a popular idea, to take pictures showing how our forefathers once saw the world through the viewfinders of their cameras. A digital camera is focused on the image in the viewfinder of an old camera; a box camera or pseudo-TLR with a big bright viewfinder may be used, but some people do this with TLR cameras.
