*%$@#*&^%$!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you've seen the post with a link to my first photo, which was very
much out of focus and (I think) overexposed. This evening, I had almost
exactly the same conditions as far as weather and light and clouds etc,
so out I went with my camera, spent about 20 minutes working with the
focus, tilt and swing. I even wore my glasses, and used a magnifier to
see the ground glass. When I was done, you could read the license plate
numbers on the trucks!!! I put in the film holder, pulled out the dark
slide, snapped the picture and went to put the dark slide back in - NO
GO!! Aaarrrg! I'm going to try removing the dark slide (from as far as
it went back in) and removing the negative in the dark room this evening
and then I'm going to develop it, but I'm preparing myself for major
disappointment :-( . I guess I'll have to be more careful how I load the
holder, although I can't understand how I got the dark slide into the
holder in the first place when I was loading.
