Yeah, I know I'm a day late for the TtV theme. Nevertheless, I did have a fun time putting this contraption together with Nicole. She has many antique cameras that we could choose from, but we settled on a Carlton-Reflect twin lens by Allied Camera Supply Co.

One of around 600 unnamed graves at the Potters Field in Warwick, RI. I love the ghostly center of the frame and the surrounding blur.

Created using Nicole's Nikon D200 shot through a modified cereal box and then through the lens of Nicole's Carlton-Reflex camera. Nicole and I have named this set up "Kashi". No photoshopping other than the crop tool!

    A spiritual orb was sitting next to that tombstone while you were taking the shot!

    This is excellent - the anonymity of the dead enhanced by the eerie blur - !

    I do like the spherical distortion the Ttv gives the image. Nice work Paul.

    great job! It has such a fantastic "otherworldly" feel to it.

    Actually, Nicole MAY be correct - I think there ARE orbs there. I get them in photos out in our barn daily! They seem attracted to our sheep! Even our realtor got some when she photographed our place to sell!
