A very lousy attempt to go shooting again. Just posting some images for critique on my composition and metering techniques.

Also, was using my newly acquired SB-80DX to test and take shots also.

Your focusing seems to be on the barricade...

Fella: Sigh that's the biggest problem I have. Thought of moving to a fully MF system to overcome this. Perhaps I was just too easy in getting a shot without ensuring the focusing was in.

Any ideas how I can overcome this on a digital cameras, although I can set shutter/aperature but the focusing is still AF.

dehuis: No worries, we're all here to learn, I've replied you already @ http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthrea...601#post330601

hi.....i see that u use flash for your night shoot.
no need to cos your flash will not really light up the clock tower or the musical fountian. in fact when you on your flash, the metering of your cam will not give you accurate reading.
