Get a Quaker Oats oatmeal container, punch a hole in the side, put a piece of your defective tape over the hole. In a darkroom, put a piece of 4x5 sheet film on the inside of the container opposite the taped over hole (emulsion side toward the taped hole). Put the lid on the container and tape it on with some real tape, bought at a real hardware store. Take the container outside and point it at something. Let it set there for awhile. Then back to the darkroom, take out the film and develop it. You have a great picture from a pinhole camera. For bracketing, repeat at longer or shorter intervals. Jim
