I was shooting at E.I. 400, and I have had problems with areas washing out at that speed. It was after roll #2 that I suddenly realized that I was shooting downward. Rolls 3 & 4 (the latter is still in the camera) are from a kneeling position. I'm hoping to get a few more images from the 2nd 2 rolls tonight or tomorrow night. Thanks for the comments. They are right on target.
