Based on what you said, with Agfa HDC color negative, if you have scanned
from prints, that is the photo lab's problem, have them custom print you
will get a much better result. If you scanned the negative, it is your
scanner's problem, try to lower the contrast and don't use auto setting.
With negative and film scanner, there is almost no over exposure or contrast
too high, you can compress the contrast a lot.

Subject: [OM] Help Needed!!
I have found the list to be very helpful in answering my queries, so I ask
again for your help. The other day I was shooting a group of geese with my
OM-10. Although I was happy with the following poses I captured the geese
in, I was unhappy about the exposure. I have found that the background is
too dark. If I had of allowed for an extra stop in compensation to lighten
the background I think I would have lost any contrast in the geese and lost
more detail in their plumage from over exposure. I was using Extrafilm 200
(Basically Agfa HDC I believe) with a 200mm lens at 1/250 sec at f5.6. Any
ideas on how to compensate for this (filters, bracketing etc).Here are the
links to the shots in question

For those interested, my OLY has been busy lately, so I have posted some new
photos to my photo site

Thanks in advance and I hope you enjoy my site
