Large Format Photography Lesson

I have two students doing an independent study class. The students basically define the class/projects and I advise/teach what they feel they would like/need to learn. The two students wanted to learn some 19th century photo processes and learn to use a view camera. One of the best ways to learn the view camera is to photograph architecture, particularly tall buildings. The only tall buildings we have in these parts are grain silos. So, we went out this afternoon and I helped them photograph a good silo I knew about in Moody. As they were struggling with the view camera I snapped a few photographs of them, the silos, and other stuff. Here they are:
