he specifically said all in automode la

anyway, my suggestion. As u get to know more abt ur dslr like getting to know what button does what and what does what, maybe when taking night shots, u can lower the exposure compensation a bit so the pic a bit darker then can just see the neon lights brightly shining. or another way, u jack up the EV a bit so that the scene is bright enough to see the buildings n others.
of course, later u can make use of things like spot metering etc.

this automode by all means is not wrong, just that in auto, the camera tries to make everything balanced. So like in the pic 1 n 2, the cam tries to make the dark buildings not too dark and the lights not too bright.

for the 3rd pic, maybe can adjust composition a bit. Try to make use of the 2/3 rule.

if there's any hint of "it". lemme ask, best price?

shutter count?
conditions?
reason for selling?

btw, anyone knows whats the price of brand new nikkor 18-200. the first gen one, without the 18mm lock switch.
also, u guys noe anyone selling them 2nd hand?

higher guide number means it has the PAWAAA! so if the location has a very high ceiling, or ur subject is far far away, it might still be able to reach. commander is the ability to command other flashes to fire.

yeap...thats right. you have to know how to use your flash regardless of how powerful it is. However, sb900 has the power when u really need it. And with great power comes great price.
