If you got that film as a 4x5 factory package, it's very possible that you loaded the film with its emulsion side toward the septum because the notches led you to. Notches are supposed to be on the 4" side. The notching's on the wrong (5") side and might be at the wrong end too.
I think the film notches are okay. Looks like there's been some distortion due to a wide angle lens as the top right negative looks more like a 4x5 sheet than the bottom two. There's certainly an impressive red cast there. It's interesting that there appears to be a reasonable amount of density on the negative if you shot through the base.
Am I the only one that thinks the subject matter is entirely appropriate for the effect the mistake made?
How well do you remember the scene? Try to think about who was standing of the lef/right and see if it matches the edge markings on the film. If you loaded the film backwards, it will be reversed!
Nothing wrong resurecting a three and a half year old thread but the OP may not even be on the Forum anymore
