I'm still new to LF photography
have exposed less than 2 packages of film so far (ie 25 sheets per package)
my interest is primarily landscape and I shoot with a 4x5 Nagaoka field camera
purchased a Calumet dark cloth
my question is how do others control the cloth when they are out in the field
I simply throw it over me and over the camera without fastening it to either
and it can be a pain getting in the way of the lens or blocking my view of the ground glass or simply slipping off my shoulders. I am sure others would find it funny watching me doing this dance with the cloth
I realize I could probably come up with a way of somehow temporarily attaching the cloth to the camera but that has it's own drawbacks (ie pull over the camera inadvertently if not careful etc)
what dark cloth techniques do most LF photographers use?
