Thanks for the info. I have a query about tahting what it calls a 'control
shot'. It says ... "when it's convenient, take a photo of the exact same
Scene A again, but with the lens cap on."

If you have the lens cap on what does it matter where the camera's pointing?

I think the idea is to have the blank frame exposed at the same time so
the camera's affected by temperature & humidity the same as the picture
you actually took.

Not sure I want "basic" instruction from a site that doesn't know the
relationship between f/stop & shutter speed though.

Ah I see, thanks.

I went back and had another read and see they don't mention 'depth of field'
in relation to aperature size..

Pray tell, just what does all this have to do with "Darkroom" - did you
forget where you are?
