So, I was visiting my friend in NYC over break and I decided to bring my 4×5.  So I thought I had shot 8 sheets of color print film.  Then when I emptied out the holders I counted 7.  When I got my negs back from the lab they told me that I only had 6.

I had some interesting results too.  One sheet of film was exposed twice.  It looks pretty cool, but the white balance in the two scenes is completely different, but that might be a good thing?  Also, one of the sheets I had processed was some Velvia 100 that I guess I had in one of the holders.  It got cross-processed.  The exposure seems pretty good, but I have a feeling it will take a very long time trying to get the white balance correct.  It’s somewhat of an abstract scene with no people, so it’s not a huge deal whether or not I get it perfect.  If not, I will just scan it when I get time.  I’m curious.  I never cross-processed before.
I also need to make sure I tighten my movements on my 4×5.  The rear tilt always seems to end up moving when I use my 90mm lens and I realize it after the fact.  It adds an interesting aesthetic by making the bottom of the exposure a little softer, but it’s not like I am going for it.
