How about this one:

I'm toying with my 4x5 last weekend, quickly packing things up before the
rain starts. In my rush, I didn't use the dark side of the slide to help me
decipher whether I've exposed the sheet of film.

I pull the holder out and fumble it, knocking it into the mud. Swear, pick
it up...wait a minute...which side is which ?

There was a 50% chance I'd guess right, but nope.

2 exposures on one sheet, film-base + fog on the other.

Regards

William
