The first time I used this medium it turned out great but I'm having trouble lately using a Minolta Dimage S404. I think it's my ISO settings in daylight vs night time? I know the higher ISO is used for less available light. Can someone help I'm confused? Lately I have been using ISO 64 during daylight situations but the outcome is too bright?
Any advice will be apprecative. Cheers Paul

sorry if this is beneath you...

check your aperture, shutter speed and EV (exposure value)
compensation.

EV sets the sensitivity of the sensor for the purposes of adjusting exposure. a + value will brighten, - will darken.

it's probably aperture. as the aperture increases (represented by a decreasing number as it's printed as x but it's actually 1/x) so does the light let through to the sensor. decrease your aperture (make it a higher number) and the photos will be darker and have a higher depth of focus for a constant shutter speed, ISO and EV compensation.
