Re: pinhole and polaroid

Mark,
   I use type 52 Polaroid in studio for proofing purposes when I'm
shooting portraits (usually self portraits) using strobes. It reduces my
margin of error concerning my lighting scheme (studio lighting with
pinhole is touchy) as well as tells me exactly where the camera is
looking. One thing to keep in mind if you are using Polaroid merely to
proof images is to set a cut of limit for yourself. I've found that if I
shoot more than one or two Polaroids all my best images end up on the
Polaroid and the images on the processed film ends up less than adequate
in comparison.
