I took this photo the other day of my cockatiels. It's a "through the viewfinder" photo--I used my digital camera and shot through the viewfinder of an old duaflex IV medium format camera. I love the look and it's a fun photo of my cockatiels.

To see more info on "through the viewfinder" photos, here is a wonderful tutorial so you can give it a try. I have found with my digital camera, I have better luck using close-up filters attached to my digital camera. Otherwise it's hard getting a close enough shot.

If you'd just like to see more cool TtV shots, check out the Through the Viewfinder group on Flickr. That's where I learned about it. I think the results of photographing things this way are fantastic.
