Tickmike If you havn't a +/- stop on your camera you might have a feature called highlight/shadow. For a white to appear white you want the highlight setting (on wedding photos defer to this as the bride and the white dress is always the most important subject)
Shadow will make a black appear black.
If you have a "Spot" metering facility use this to lock the exposure whilst pointing at the item for which you want the shade to appear correct. whilst holding the exposure, recompose the shot to take the piccy.
Have got to scan in some of the pic's I got at the north coast a couple of weeks ago. The prize pilchard here managed to open the back on the camera before rewinding the film
so burnt out almost all the shots. the other roll was one left from a dodgy batch from some wedding photography I did. Loads of the perforations where badly cut.
Now can i find a pen which works in this weather, what did i do with those pencils ?
Got to hand it to Boots they always give superb service and excellent results, they kept trying to run the neg's through their machines until they got a result, got 90% of the shots and they did it for free ! It wasn't their problem or fault it was the film manufacturer Thank you Boot of the Castle Mall Norwich :clap2:
(6 out of 10 rolls had problems in one batch
really distracting to keep hearing the awfull tearing noises from the cameras when your trying to concentrate on the photos. Worst wedding shots I've ever done
At least the christening shots I did for them came out lovely)
