An absurd idea!

Question: Can I take a photo through another camera?

Answer: Yes, it's complicated, but possible.

How to do:
I took my Canon EOS Rebel XSi and the Praktica F.X 3 and two tripods. The back from the Praktica is removable and the shutter is a little bit rusty, therefore it's easier to shoot through it.
First I focused the Praktica. To focus the second camera, in this case the Rebel XSi, is a little bit complicated. Sometimes the AF doesn't work, but I had time to set the AF-system.

First some making-of pictures:







The picture through another camera:

Yes, it isn't the big hit, but once more a question is solved!

Oh I think it's easier to shoot through the waist-level finder from the Praktica;) Okay, at the next time!

I found this wonderful camera two weeks ago in Joinville, but I didn't have the money to buy it, I rather bought me the book Photo Icons II from TASCHEN and some old 1970s brazilian photo magazines. But today I drove once more to Joinville and bought this incredible camera. At the camera is a Isco Göttingen Westanar 2.8/50mm Version 2. The camera and the lens work, but have some little problems.

War with the Frogs!

Do you read Karel Čapeks "War with the Newts" ("Válka s mlok")?
I read it and today not the newts but the frogs - ok one frog - attacked me - ok not me, but my photography books! I think that frogs are very strange.

You don't believe it? You think this is a joke? Come on, it's the truth! Here is the evidence:







I don't know how and why he was in my room, but I think he is a real mind jacker photographer!
After the photo session I put him in the garden. Hey, I love animals and he isn't only a frog, he's a mind jacker!
