Hi All,

I wonder if anyone can help me. I tried taking some portraits using an Olympus OM2N and a 70-210 zoom lens on a tripod. I was in our conservatory on an overcast day. There appeared to be plenty of light. I was using a pale curtain as a background. I set the camera to manual as set up the camera accordingly. The result was that the shots were all washed out looking and grainy. I guess it is something to do with the light and exposure settings. The rest of the film was fine taken in bright daylight and indoors with flash. What I wanted to do was use the natural light yet have sharp, properly exposed pictures. I tried to load an example to this post but could not figure how to.

Thanks, Robert
