honesty is the best policy... its okay.  :-)

I don't do manual focus because I am not that good yet.  I usually have it a Aperture Priority Mode ....
settings...ISO 100, F/1.8, 1/3200 sec

the pic looks sharper here sa Flckr though

I did get a couple of shots that are sharper ...like this

You can still ask the camera/chipped lens to focus for you even when your in manual mode unless you are using a manual focus lens.

what do you mean?

'coz when I turn off the lens auto focus, even when I just turn the focus ring manually, I see my af point (small box that I chose for focusing) light up and beep. So really the camera is still helping me and telling me it is in focus.

Is that what you mean?

You can still use the focus indicator as a guide when focusing manually, other than than that you can fire a burst of shots and hopefully one is in focus.

tripod is coming already ... I got a Slik Pro 700DX....didn't get the Manfrotto... we will see how this Slik performs...if it sucks...then I can return it and add some money and get a Manfrotto. The grad filter can wait...will see whats gonna happen if I do need it. I only bought UV protectors on all of my lens...Teffens and a couple of Zeikos.
