TtV (Through the Viewfinder) photography gives life to old TLRs

Twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras of olden days are making a comeback among some digital shutterbugs. By combining the aged shooter and a dSLR, photographers have created a new form of photography known as TtV (Through the Viewfinder). This can be quite a hard concept to grasp, but essentially you're pointing the lens of the dSLR at the viewfinder of the TLR and taking a picture of it.

Photography can cause undue stress and madness

Here's a funny video clip by two photographers in Colombia, South America. Taking a jab at some of the gearheads who trawl DPreview's forums, one of them portrayed a delirious photographer who is crazy about aligning his lens just because "the professionals on DPreview said so". He also spent two days looking for a dead pixel in his camera and has deleted his entire catalog of photos because of that.

Do note that this is just a parody done by the duo to poke fun at shutterbugs who are crazy about their photo equipment, so don't take it too seriously. Remember, the camera is just a tool to help you capture an image.

Ricoh officially announces modular GXR camera system

It's not a mirrorless interchangeable lens (dare I say EVIL?) system, as was rumored around the blogosphere, but what the company catchily calls an "Interchangeable Unit Camera," where the "Unit" in question is a lens/sensor module which slides into a housing that includes the rest of a point-and-shoot's pieces--920,000-pixel 3-inch LCD, controls, hot shoe, and flash. A tiltable EVF that fits in the hot shoe will be optional.
