Why are my Nikon D800 night photos kinda yellowish and orange?

I was taking some night photos in NYC last night and when I got home to look at them on my pc, all of the night photos were sort of yellowish and orange. The daytime photos are perfectly fine. Would someone with more experience tell me what setting I should be using for these night photos? Thanks.

Getting a wide angle lens vs telephoto for Nikon?

Hello there,

I am not too sure whether should I get a 10-24mm or a 70-300mm lens. I know it boils down to the question whether do I like to take landscape or wildlife photography.

I was wondering, if I am short of budget, and could only pick one, which one should I pick first? (I will eventually get both one day)

The 10-24mm lens costs USD 350 whereas the 70-300mm lens costs around USD 150?

I am looking into the 10-24 mm ones, but is it that worth it to get the more expensive lens compared to the 70-300mm lens? Both are used lens, but rarely used (because the shutter count of the seller's dslr is less than 3k)

Thank you.

My PocketWizard Plus III radio slaves are giving me trouble. Can someone help?

I'm using three PocketWizard Plus III's, an SB-700, and an SB-600 with my Nikon D610. I'm also using these hot shoe sync cables for the flashes: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/421306-REG/Paramount_PMPWMHSF1_Miniphone_Pocket_Wizard_to.html

So basically what happens is, I'll be on a shoot and everything is working fine, and suddenly one of my flashes will start to rapidly fire really quickly. Then nothing. I'll start having trouble getting that radio slave to receive or transmit anything. Then I'll go home, and fiddle with it and somehow get it to work again, but I don't have time to do that when I'm on a shoot with a client. I'm not sure what it is I do that fixes it. I need to have a better understanding of what's going wrong, and what I can do to fix it. Has anyone had this problem? Or does anyone have an idea what the trouble might be?

Thanks so much!
