hmm the camera doesnt know what is white unfortunately.. Maybe what happened was that you were using matrix metering and the camera was measuring the white balance as a whole .. the dark sky, maybe the tungsten street light and the light from the moon!

If you do see something white(ie your moon) Set your white balance to PRE and shoot at the moon to tell the camera that what you are currently shooting is WHITE and the camera will give the right white balance for sure

If you want a reliable radio trigger brand do get a pocket wizard! They even allow high speed sync on your speed lights..

i'm going for the Achilles Drift series!

Added on May 16, 2012, 10:52 amHaha good idea sometimes we need HDR to overcome such situations or best would be Gnd filters to expose the sky >.<

Is your camera color profile an Adobe RGB or sRGB?

---

Added on May 19, 2012, 11:02 pmQuoted from Mr. Kenrockwell

"Adobe RGB is irrelevant for real photography. sRGB gives better (more consistent) results and the same, or brighter, colors.

Using Adobe RGB is one of the leading causes of colors not matching between monitor and print.

sRGB is the world's default color space. Use it and everything looks great everywhere, all the time.

Adobe RGB should never be used unless you really know what you're doing and do all your printing yourself. If you really know what you're doing and working in publishing, go right ahead and use it. If you have to ask, don't even try it."

They only have primes atm for Nikon

Here you can have a full range of it

Price go do your homework

Honestly speaking you shouldn't be looking for the best.. Just tell us what kind of photography do you do so we can help you decide

The 35 1.8 and 28 1.8g will be great fr you

Yeah, that's why I recommended the 35 and 28.. Not really that expensive compared to nano coated 1s

Added on May 20, 2012, 1:19 amHaha no worries! Hmmm I took over 2k photos, havent gone through them yet.. Some look soft cause mostly shot at f22..

Decided to bring an nd filter along tomorrow! Lol lets see how it turns out..

I just realize the cones and dividers are kinda distracting
