Using the index finger and thumb of both of your hands to make a rectangle and looking through it. Most likely used by photographers, movie producers, or artists.

Kevin Nash became fond of this for a while, though using the variant with his thumbs and index fingers sticking straight out. He'd do this after whipping an opponent into the turnbuckle and just before following it up with an elbow.

Master Hand and Crazy Hand in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate do this sometimes in the center of the screen. It closes in the blast-lines of the stage so for a couple minutes, they don't need to knock you as far to KO you.

Homestuck: When Jade Harley is enlarging the Fenestrated Wall to enable her and John to ride a battleship through it, she does a slowly enlarging finger-frame matching its borders. She does it again later during the final fight, where owing to Breaking the Fourth Wall, the animation panel has been skewed and she sets it back to normal.

A character in one Cracker story did this a lot; he was somewhat autistic and fixated on movies. Someone else commented on it at a funeral that included the quote "We see the world through a glass, darkly": "You don't see the the world through a glass, darkly. You see it through your fingers."

Used in the American Dad! episode "Stan's Night Out" in the B story, in which Roger tries to be a beauty queen. He discovers that his date is taking him to a Pig Party. He then does this to the other girls at the party...and then looks at mirror, framing himself in it, and discovers that he is the Tomato in the Mirror (ugly, not evil).
