-----Question-----

what causes this.
-----to reply 35mm film ,the camra flashed both times i know the camra works well. i took 4 sets of pic 2 at night,
2 inside and they all came out the same as the above question. could the flash cause this.

Answer
Joey,

When you use the camera inside, there are walls and a ceiling for the light to bounce off of.  When you shoot outside, there isn't.  It sounds like there simply wasn't enough flash for the outside shots.  You could try a higher speed film.

John
