Foggy Photos - What's Wrong?


 
 
I've gone through 3 rolls of film and most of my photos are turning out foggy and bland. The people processing the film says it's underexposure. Now I'd like your opinions. Check out the one good and one bad photo and let me know what you think. The good photo is using a flash and 1/60 shutter speed. I used a UV filter for the outside photo at about 1/250 and f22.

Ken Pang 		  F22 @ 1/250th of a second is about 2 stops under exposed for a sunny day on 100 speed film. The only exception to this is if you are shooting on a very bright area, where incidental light from say water, sand or snow is adding to the direct light from the sun. Are you using something faster?

It's hard to tell from the scan, but yes, I agree the effect does look somewhat like an underexposed photo.
