Photos taken without looking through viewfinder

[Naumoski]

Hi fellas,

If this kind of thread already exist, please inform me! I searched for similar one but couldn't find.

Not a brand new technique of shooting, but is quite challenging.

I'll post some photos photographed where composition, focus, shutter, exposure etc. is set "on blind".

Show me yours 🙂

Almost all the shots are done with Minolta 7SII, and some on SRT 101 and digital.

Digital and cropped.
It needs a lot of practice to hold the camera correctly.

Of course it has 😀 almost anything we post here has occurred in in similar form previously ...but it does not matter :bang:

Watch out, some of the esteemed members here will wish for the camera to be broken over your head 😱


I have a few, here's one:

Interesting pictures!

You might be aware that I started a thread on techniques for taking photographs w/o using the viewfinder. The thread also contains some very good photographs (didn't you participate in the discussion too?).

Anyway, here are some of my Ignore Your ViewFinder shots that I hadn't shown in the other thread:

The first two were taken using an analogue Konica Hexar RF, the others using a digital Nikon D300 (w/ active autofocus).

Great photos!

I must have forgotten about your thread, and somehow I didn't participate back then.

Not quite a hip shot as the camera was around my neck.

More than half of my wide angle photography is made without looking ...

Naumoski, that one of the bike through the fence is brilliant.
very good stuff throughout... some of you are really good at scale focusing(!).
