[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 250595, member: 18251"] I think you answered your question yourself, partially at least. But you do not HAVE to restrict yourself to "manual mode" - quite on the contrary - fully manual mode might slow you down, especially when taking photos in the streets, light being low or not. Consider different options of AF (tracking etc.) and, as you yourself concluded, metering with different areas within the frame being emphasized (including the "spot") and see which suites you the best. I do not recommend the extensive use of flash, since it basically "ruins" the atmosphere, if it is the "dead of the night" feel, that you are trying to capture (however, you can use a flash's "suppressed mode" or "fill-light" to get, for example, bright faces in the front, with the dimly lit background with dominant neon or wolfram (yellow) lighting)...
