The Re-Photographer's Eye

A behind the lens look at what re-photographers see in
"the process".
 


Framing the image in the ground glass viewfinder of the view camera.
Look closely to see the recreated photograph flipped and reversed.


Refining focus on the ground glass with a loupe.  
This is a fairly easy task.  Taking a photograph of it however, is not.



Looking through a light meter to set the proper exposure.
Also you can play CIA Spy Camera Guy with it.
   
Different lenses provide different focal lengths.  Selecting the proper lens length is critical to accurately rephotograph a subject.  


Can you see the firetruck in this picture? Look for its bumper.
Then find the group of re-photographers for a chance at cash and prizes.
