Thanks for any comments you may have. Suggestions help too, I'm still

learning.

.

Am I having this problem because of a combination of bright light, light color dress and inability of my camera to reason?? I guess another way to ask the same question is, Would I have had this problem indoors, or a dimmer environment?

Ok I am having trouble here. This shot is with Kodak Portra 160VC 70-

200 2.8 sigma HSM APO EX, Canon Elan 2e. I shot 3 rolls and many

turned out like this. I have shot the same film when the subject was

wearing darker colors and the day was not as sunny and the Photos

were crips and clean. What is going on here?? Could my camera be

metering off of the dress and underexposing the whole photo?? It

seems the Lab tried to compensate for the dark negatives by

brightening the picture up A LOT! How do I compose a shot when I

cannot trust my camera's meter? I am going to take photos at her

wedding and I was shooting some practice rolls here (Thank goodness

I thoght enought to do this). Am I right on this. Please don't hold

back let me know what you think and what I am doing wrong.
