I have "pinholed" County Mayo three times, with everything from 120 color to 8x10 Tmax 400. I never paid that much attention to sky-cloud contrast. I guess I'd go with filtering while you're shooting, on the principle that the more you get on the negative the easier it will be to print. I did 8x10 with an eye to platinum printing, but I ended up making dupe negatives to boost contrast. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jeepa...@aol.com> To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 1:49 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] begging for wisdom
