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 * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
