The very first photo I took with my Intrepid 4x5; admittedly I'm surprised it turned out this well. Had a lot of other flubs that happened but this one came out okay, somehow. Undershot it slightly
Practice makes perfect. Keep practicing "the dance" both without film and with film to see the results. Might even want to get a box of .EDU Ultra (rebranded Fomapan) from Freestyle or B&H to eliminated expired film as part of the problems.

Appreciate the advice! I think part of why this one came out so odd was the lens I was using; looks like the coating was coming off of it. I kinda like the effect, but I've already got a replacement lens and some HP5 to mess around with next time. Feeling a lot more comfortable with developing film.
Coating -- even uneven coating -- won't do this. The marks in the sky are either due to poor storage of the film (probably before you got it) or a development problem. Not to mention a few fingerprints upper left...
