Thankyou all for the input on ground glass
Guillermo-
The reason for the ground glass is so that I can view the scene for
composition before exposure. I don't require a necessarily good image, just
one for the main lines and masses of the picture. Your idea of a fresnel
sheet is inspired, I shall use it. I know that pinhole is also about
serendipity but I want a little more control over the final image,
particularly when one has taken time to find and there is no retake!
I am going to use a viewing pinhole for the ground glass - one that gives me
enough light (under a cloth) so I can see the image. I am not concerned
with viewing detail just the main masses.
