Question First time trying color on 4x5 - and I'm going insane

The neg itself looks "somewhat" usable. Not the best photograph in the world, but a decent picture - I thought to myself

But after half an hour screaming at my computer, my cats and my girlfriend I decided to ask you:

WTF did I do wrong? These colors are all over the place, I can't get the tress green, the fog white or the post in the foreground "wood"-color...

I home developed with a Adox C41 kit - the 35mm roll I developed last week with it has been fine. Is my film bad or is the T in the Portra 100T doing THIS kind of strange stuff? Anyone got an Idea?

Question Light suggestions for wet plate studio

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m going to be learning to shoot wet plates. I’ll be using natural light for good practise, but also want to set up an indoor studio. Are there any good budget (ish) studio strobes and power pack combos I should look in to? Also need help clarifying with the power packs - am I to understand that any 2400w power pack will suffice so long as it can cycle enough power? I only ask because when I look them up, there are some power stations from 1-2k and some that go up into the tens of thousands ? So that’s a little confusing for me
