I just got a couple of rolls developed. there was a lot of night photography where I was just guessing at an exposure using B setting for the shutter and just bracketing exposures an hoping one of the few would be allright.
As a strategy is probably a bit spenthrift seeing as I have just developed 72 exposures and got about a half dozen decent shots.
Anyway I notice on the sky is only properly black on the shots that are properly exposed or a bit overexposed - on the ones that were underexposed the sky is actually a lighter colour - and also there is a fog over the print as a whole.
My quistion is: It that something to do with how they are developed - is the machine pushing things to try and brighten a dark print? Would they look different if I developed them myself (not that thats going to happen anytime soon!)
