very well thought out and the sequence and excellent photo-illustration make it an enjoyable read
what did you use to shoot the illustrations?

Sorry, forgot to rate the story! I was going to give it 5 out of 5, but decided to knock a point off, only giving it 4 out of 5, as begineers might not appreciate the optimum pinhole size and how to achieve it for a camera of this size format possibly of a different focal length if said begineers want something with a longer focal length for less of an extreem wide angle.

An excellent primer and enocuragement for me to build my own 4”x5”, something that I have been intending to do for far too long. A bit more guidance on pin hole size might be in order though ….
