Poor results from the first batch of photos :(
Seems it won't expose evenly at 1/1000th; one side of the picture is dark where the shutter isnt moving fast enough. Shame. Also boots printed half my pictures on the piss - seems the machine got confused due to some of the pics being uneven and so chopped most of them in two. Went back in to complain, and the woman did everything she could to blame me for various grievances. At least they're redoing them in an hour though.
It seems a lot of my pics are quite grainy too. It's only ISO 200 film so that surprised me - it seems to be primarily on the ones that I took with massive apertures (F1.4). Is that typical? Should I be backing it off a couple of stops and taking with longer exposures?
Also (if anyone is still reading!) whats the slowest shutter I can get away with without a tripod? would 1/125 be ok?
