Through the Viewfinder of a Kiev 88
28.03.2008

It’s a view from my home window, a test to take part of the contest “Through the Viewfinder” from JPEG Magazine (http://www.jpgmag.com/themes/83) but never get a photo large enough to be accepted… Nikon D70 takes pictures by 3000×2000 so in square format it’s only 2000×2000 and JPEG Mag asks for 2200 at least…
Anne Julie doesn’t like this view because I always take the same when I do tests. But hey, that’s part of my life too and the first shot that Niepce has ever made is a view from his window
I also tried to do the same with my Hasselblad 500cm but the focus screen is so bright and clean that the photo looks like it wasn’t made throught a viewfinder…

C’est une vieille photo que j’ai faite avec un Kiev 88. Le dos était assez vieux et avait des fuites de lumières, mais pour des photos d’atmosphère je l’aime énormément. J’ai déjà travaillé une photo du même rouleau (dans Portfolio - Waterscape) et certaines personnes n’aiment pas la vague en bas de l’image. Donc voici une version plus sombre sans la vague. Une autre version de la même scène.
This is an old photo I’ve made with a Kiev 88 camera. The back was very old and has light leaks but for moody shots I like it a lot. I’ve already shown one photo of the same roll (check in Portfolio - Waterscape) and some people don’t like the wave on it. So this is a much darker version without the wave. Another view of the same scenery.
