Hello,

I just shot a roll of 100 ISO slide film under normal, afternoon
sun outdoors. I used fill-flash (with high-speed sync) on my
420EX with my Elan 7 set to Av. The subjects were human--at
portrait distances with a lens set to 135mm or so and f/5.6. I
also had 2nd-curtain sync activated.

After developing the roll, I discovered that some of the subjects
were overexposed and some of the flesh tones were a little off
(pink).

I realized at the end of the day of shooting that the roll
expired in December 2000. I suppose this might explain the
discoloration. But I'm not quite sure why the subjects were
overexposed. Might the 2nd-curtain sync have thrown off exposure?
Can anyone explain just what happens when 2nd-curtain sync is
used under normal shooting situations (i.e., not in low light
environments). Is it best left off except for low light
situations?

thank you,
Chris
