That worked out ok because I'd make 5 strips of 6. Which means less painful edges. Less cuts. And a full looking 6x10 contact sheet which didn?t occur to anyone that it had 6 less shots that it should have. But if I had some hot thing going on on my backdrop and I'd go "click flash" and that would be the last shot I knew I didn?t get it. It was fogged out because it was the end. So I'd quickly put another roll in and try to re create that exact moment. That exact gesture or mood. That's ever 30 exposures folks or about every 10 minutes for me. With real big boy pre loaded film when the roll ended I just went on in time. Did not always backtrack. No. NO darkroom loading for me. I'm afraid of the dark. Start to see white spots.
