Was out a few weeks ago and set my 8x10 camera to shoot down on some skunk cabbage leaves coming up out of the ground. Stopped down to f/64 but still didn't have enough of depth of field. So... had a small piece of thin cardboard with me and poked a tiny hole in it. Removed the front elements of my 12" f/4.5 Wollensak Velostigmat and inserted the pinhole aperture. Guessed at an exposure of 3 minutes and was actually right on. Image attached. Has anyone else ever gone this route? Composing with a pinhole pretty much impossible to do with its more than dim image on the GG. But composing with a lens and then inserting a pinhole aperture into the lens seems to be a very viable way to go. Image does have that "pinhole look" to it.
