My first shot with result. In fact the first one left no trace because the sheet fell down when I removed the film hoder out the camera.
This one was also bad inserted in holder showing this result.
MPP VIII - Optar 135 mm - Ilford FP4
My first LF shot, Chamonix 45n1, Nikkor 135mm, Wephota np22, Diafine.
After first dozen or so frames I realize that I'm loading sheets to jobo reel in wrong way (emulsion outside ) scratching every frame. Well RTFM
You mean the first one that had a discernible image?

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
This one isn't my very 1st LF shot, (the 1st one was done in studio just to check what LF can do and have been buried somewhere in my archive) but this one was my 1st landscape attempt, as far as I can remember now… With "overtilt" to get unreal architecture. Sinar F1 and Super-Angulon 90mm f8 on Tri-X.
Lakeside Bridge, Pompton Lakes, NJ, 1982
Used an Air Force Speed Graphic with the Ektar 127mm lens. Didn't know anything about movements... just wanted to play with my new toy I found in the basement. Tri-X, FG-7. I left the defects in (light flares and scratches from the wooden clothes pin I used to hang dry the film in my mother's basement laundry line).

"I shoot a HYBRID - Arca/Canham 11x14"
This was the 3rd shot from memory. The first two sheets suffered from the usual fogging/horrific scratches/etc usually associated with someone shooting LF and not knowing what they're doing.
