Help With Outside Shots! Thanks to anyone who can help me! I am having a problem understanding why my photos that I take outside on a nice partly cloudy day with b/w 100 ISO seem to come out so white. Like an extreme amount of light got to the film. But I don't think that is the problem with 100 speed film. Although I did use auto settings. My shots inside come out wonderful using 550ez flash and some lights. Can anyone help? The film is T-Max 100 on a Canon Rebel G. Thanks.

Candy: Make sure the camera is set to ISO 100. Set the Program mode or one of the subject-specific Programs. Make sure the camera is set for evaluative metering. Go out and shoot; try not to include a lot of bright sky, water or sand. The light meter should produce perfect (or close to it) exposures. You can also use AV mode and select an aperture, such as f/8. The camera will set the right shutter speed. Unless your film lab screws up, it's difficult to get a poorly exposed photo.

With b/w film, a bright blue sky is not going to contrast much with the clouds. Typical fixes are yellow or red filters to darken the sky, or a polarizer.

Thanks everyone for your info. I took some more shots today so we'll see how they turn out. I also set av mode on the camera and my f/stop was 8. I have a feeling they will be alright. Thanks again Candy

Candy again. Sorry to bug. But I forgot to mention that I am printing my photos myself at home. You can tell a huge difference on my contact sheet the outside shots and the inside shots are very different. So I know it must be my camera settings.
