last two were too dark, underexpose. depends on hw u wana it to turn out.
if i wanted to get a better exposed pic, i will set longer shutter speed like 6secs@f8
u can choose to use manual mode, subsequemtly u can use a bigger f-stop(f2.8) to let in more light but haf to reduce the shutter time till like 2-3sec.

try out different settings to see what u want. juz my 2cents worth

yar forget to add, same settings for this scence may not work in other scenes. ex, when there are more light sources, u haf to reduce ur shutter time or it be overexposed!

thanks for the pointer. i did use 8secs for most of the shots, even auto bracketed at -1/0/+1 and picked the best out of the 3.

next time i'll try a bigger aperture and compare the results
cheers
