comment What is “Highlight Tone Priority”?
When you say HTP affects RAW files what do you mean? Do you mean that the sensed data stored in the RAW file is different, or that the RAW file comes with additional processing instructions on how the image should be "developed"? To put it another way, can I get an effect using HTP that I couldn't get by exposing differently and then developing my RAW file in the appropriate manner? Apologies if I have the terminology wrong here.

You might want to check the answers on this question about birdwatching: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/2413/… The answers for Canon will all work on your camera.

What is your budget ceiling? You are looking at "start-up"lenses, but in this kind of photography there is always a better (faster, longer, sharper) and thus more expensive lens.

Do you know of the data source for the artificial light overlay? I ask because I'm interested in getting data for Australia rather than the USA.

comment What does the dot on some zoom lens scales mean?
+1 for bringing some data to the table! Someone with a copy of the 24-105mm ought to be able to test the least extension at 28mm hypothesis - hopefully they can post a comment here with the result.

comment Why is Nextgen / wordpress is reducing the quality of my photographs?
That is a plausible hypothesis. Don't discount visual perception, however, it is usual for human perception to vary depending on neighbouring colour.
