Shoot around 9pm yesterday at Floria, Putrajaya.

Using built in flash (second curtain), f/5.6, 1/4" shutter speed. Manual mode at ISO 200......... am I doing right?

Hi, am I doing right using the setting above? I want to include the ambient lights at the background. If I using Program Mode, maybe I will loose the background. Thanks :redface:

Settings are ok, I'd open wider tho to f/4 or f/3.2 to get more light and use ISO400 to capture more ambient. Tone down the flash a little for it to look more natural too.

Yes, I think u can PP abit on the flash which make the foreground abit too bright. Also brighten up the background scene abit. And if open aperture too wide, i'm afraid u cant get both your children in good focus, and u get OOF background scene.
Unless the background scene is not a concern, I usually shoot at around f7 at ISO 1000 for portrait with night scenery :)

Not sure if u like it but here's my try, used a wireless optical mouse, so it's not very accurate but the idea is there.
