Film exposed through the base
Eugene; Well - Not exactly. Picture this: Placed between the index finger and thumb of the right hand as you say, the film sheet can either extend downwards from your fingers or upwards from them. Of course, to make the change one would have to flip it over, hence the problem. The correct way no doubt seems intuitive to all you experienced users, however to a newbie like me it's not quite so obvious

You're correct, of course Bob. I just took it for granted that the film would hang downwards when held between the thumb and index finger. I'll have to remember that detail the next time I explain the procedure to somebody. Thanks for pointing that out.

You could always reload them and double expose them for fun/experimental results.

Any text in your composition? I think it will read from right to left in your print. Well, I guess you could print with the neg upside down too. I'm not glad that you made this mistake but I'm glad I got to read about it. I'm real new to LF and now I know that the film I loaded into my holders for tomorrow's shoot is correct. I hope you didn't shoot a bunch.

To all: Thanks for the help, To M Thompson: Of course I shot a lot, what's the point of screwing up if it isn't painful. Oh Well, like Smitty says I'll never make that mistake again, the correct film position is permanently burned in my brain
