Looks like the clear blue and the altitude may have gotten you. I've seen 
that you can lose a full stop of metered speed under mid day and or higher 
altitude conditions- theres more blue light to infrared and the meter sees 
this too. Have you tried to calibrate your meter through a piece of 87 gel 
for IR work?
