: Hello,

: I have a Nikon N70. The other night we were out trying to take pictures of the bridge near where we live. Some of the pictures turned out very clear - the lights reflected in the water, the bridge crisp and the sky very black behind it all. The others all came out with a green tint to them. What we don't understand is we simply set the camera for night shots, put it on the tripod and pushed the button letting the camera control the shutter speed and aperature. Why did some turn out and others didn't when we used the same method for every picture? If anyone has anything to other I would greatly appreciate it.

: Thank you in advance.

If you where shooting color negative film have one of your "green" shots have it reprinted at a differant lab and see if it looks any differant in sounds like a printing density problem to me (tip) don't go to the "cheapest" lab you can find! This should have been picked up by the person printing the negs.
Regards Mike.
