The nature of this project means that I don't have to go through a series of negatives and print only the ones that I feel are the best, as would normally happen. For this piece I had to print all 70 images that I shot in the panorama style. Here are some of my test strips, prints with the wrong colour balance and the contact sheets I had printed for me.

| Test Strip. Yellow = 60, Magenta = 60, Cyan = 0. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 seconds |
 |
| Test Strip. Y = 80, M = 80, C = 0. 3 seconds. |
 |
| Test Strip. Y = 80, M = 100, C = 0. 4 seconds. |
 |
| Test Strip. Y = 85, M = 110, C = 0. 4 seconds. |
 |
| Test Strip. Y = 95, M = 105, C = 0. 4 seconds. |
I settled on these settings for the majority of the prints, occasionally varying the length of time according to how well exposed the negative was. However, there were 2 images for which I had to do separate test srtips, the negatives came out much more magenta than the rest of the images in the series, meaning I added 10 to the magenta filtration. I also had to expose for around 13 seconds on these images.
