The story with this print is that sometimes the shutter release cable gets a little stuck halfway to closing... well this time that happened and i didn't notice until looking into the lens and noticing the open aperture. So I'm not even remotely sure what the shooting speed is haha.

This was my first real photograph from my 4x5 camera. (just getting the hang of it so far.) I was really worried when i put it in the developer and in less than 20 seconds it was rapidly getting darker and darker. There are a few chemical markings on the print but other than that and its being centered I'm pleased with it. :-)
