    Re: In Praise of the Black T-Shirt

    I have been wrestling with my Zone VI dark-cloth for about 20 years now. Makes me think the right side of my brain doesn't function at all.
    On my next outing with the 8X10 I will take both black T and Sweat shirts along.

    I don't use a clothes pin or other fastener to secure the waist of the tee shirt to the camera because both my hands are in and out under the tee shirt to use the loupe. I find it dark enough under there. The idea of doubling up on the tee shirts with the outer one white for coolth sounds good.

    That's definitely in the spirit of Zone VI: "Try It!"

    Good for you!

    I don't use anything for a dark cloth. I usually shoot at night.
