I am not sure of your ambient light but to have it on 1800 iso, I don't think so, more like 800 iso or even 1000 iso depending on your judgement of the prevailing ambient light. What focal lens are you using? Manual focus, not for me if you want pin sharp images. Wished I lived nearer to you I would go out with you and give you some tips. For now just keep on practising and then practise some more.
