u can try use flash + long expose time.. u will get nice ambient light + subject frozen.. however, there will be blur motion on ur subject becoz of the movement. Sometimes it is nice, sometimes not.

did u mean using rear sync flash hah? hehehe...sometimes lots of term use for the same thing (please correct me if i'm wrong)
rite now i'm learning to panning. any tips?

it is called slow sync flash,
can be used with rear sync or front sync, depends on ur style..

panning, set the focus mode to AF-C mode..

shutter speed depends on the speed of the subject.

tq for the tips. will try this today.

just wondering is VR important for my d40?

Err VR is important depending on the focal length of the lens. Not the camera body.

VR is very helpful to counteract camera shake. very helpful especially when u using zoom or telephoto lens.

VR can let u use slower shutter speed, but however, slowe shutter speed is not useful all the time.. i learned that, even i can hold for 1/5 with VR, my subjects cant.. lol.. so i opt to high iso and flash..

I have some questions for D40 users:

What flashlight do you use? Have you encountered any problems when using non-Nikon flashguns (well the manual warns of voltage irregularities etc)?

I'm wondering if I need to get a safe voltage adapter or something if I'm going to use my old Metz Mecablitz 28C-2.

uh... 3rd party flash..i am using nissin di622....no probs at all

i found out tat the maximum shutter speed tat i can go is 30 seconds.. and bulb appear..wat is bulb ler?? can i make it longer than 30 seconds?

yes...in bulb mode, you can take as long as your shutter is pressed...usually people use remote release...

Why get Tammy 70-300 ? Get Nikkor 70-300 VR better
D80 RM 2050 free 2GB
