Through the looking glass

Update: Europe through the looking glass

Sometimes I doubt my abilities, first, when I feel what I do is simple, and second, when I am unable to make any progress. Many times, I’ve wondered if I’d been more creative with taking photographs before I bought my DSLR.

One day I figured out the ‘Binocular Shot’ – taking photos on a phone camera through the looking glass. And the results were awesome. I was so grooved that for the next few days a boy, six-feet-two, uncombed and unshaven (basically a shabby, young tramp) was sighted by many locals in Cairo carrying a Nikon Monarch binocular with a phone stuck to its left eye piece!

Here are some of the photos.

This is a technique you should definitely give a shot!

I’d love to see your work! You can mail me or tag or DM on Instagram @i.john.sebastian
