I am an entirely self taught photographer and have an honest question. I use an inherited Nikon N70 and it seems like most of the time my pictures are coming out grainy and look like a lot of color is getting washed out. Does anyone know why this might ne happening?

Your ISO is set to a very high number? A friend had this happened to her, she didn't realize this until she got home and viewed them on her mac.

So is that something I can change on my camera or is it something to do with when they got developed?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. Your camera, and your film have simply decided that they do not want to cooperate with you. Sorry man, better go take up parkour or something.

As said before, this looks much like prints made from underexposed / underdeveloped film.

Possible Options you have now:

# Film was damaged: When thats new film is pretty unlikely. Even old film (if you inherited it with the camera) must have had a pretty bad life to look like this. I shot 25 year old film once, and it turned to be ok. So I think you can rule that out.

# The Lab screwed up: This could be possible, since photo labs have much less to do, and recycle the chemicals less often. The weaker chemicals would need more time, but since the time is set by the machine, they could come out underdeveloped. But usually you don't see that much effect on normal film (only if you plan to get it pushed). Yet again, this is unlikely enough to rule it out.

# Your camera screwed up: Sadly, this is the most likely option. As you said, your pictures come out mostly like this, its a constant error. User errors in manual mode, a faulty shutter or a sticky aperture could also produce such images, but they would varies a lot more. On the other hand, a miss set film speed would produce similar results all over the film length.

On your N70, check the displays lower right corner. There you should see ISO DX.The DX means that the camera detects the film speed from that checker pattern on your film can. IF you don't see the DX, just ISO, then your camera is set to manual film speed, and I guess thats off.
