> Paul Your Outer Banks pinhole images are very, very nice indeed. (I don't think James Joyce would object to your last title, but then he probably wouldn't be able to see it anyway.)
Judging by the 7x10 negative size, I assume you are using paper negatives. If so, which B&W paper have you found the most successful with which to work? Also, do you ever use any filtration during the pinhole exposure? For the moment, I have settled on Ilford MG IV RC in the satin finish, and usually use a K2 filter, although I suspect that a 'weaker' one, which I don't own at present, may actually work a little better -- shorter exposures and slightly more, but still manageable, contrast.
