Thanks for this. I was using Fuji Superia 400 ASA print film and the meter in the camera. I'm sorry but I don't remember the exposure. I got it developed at Boots.

In order to avoid this again, should I be taking a reading from my subject's face and using this to determine my exposure? What I am trying to do is get the same sort of sharpness of the image that I get outside but with the softer light.

Thanks, Robert
