Yes, the light was the issue on that shot. I was using the 50mm, so no zoom and I wasn't able to adjust my distance due to tables and people in the way so I couldn't easily have got the light out of the frame without then introducing lots of rubbish into the shot, like people's heads or lights to the left of the shot that were on the wall.

I do find with the 50mm that I have more trouble focussing it on AF than with other lenses. But when I switch to manual focus I always mess it up even if it looks right in the viewfinder.

I imagine the auto-focus problem is because you're using it in low-light.
That thing should snap into focus immediately on a D200.

It's the low light that is the issue I think.

It's a pity you couldn't have got closer, Capa's "If your pictures aren't good enough you weren't close enough" is often true - but then that's a macho war photographer talking :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
