Thanks bros. The first shot was taken at the Wat Arun temple, it has those very steep stairs leading to the top, I only took 1 and half flight and chicken out, lol.

Here's another view of the temple.

Nice photos taken with 35mm f1.4 lens. I need some information about this 35mm lens.

I eyeing on Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G DX...
Could you tell me what is the good points for this 35mm lens?
Can 35mm replace 18-55mm kit lens for landscape and Portrait shots?

Lightweight, compact and affordable, this lens can easily become a fast favorite for any level of photographer, and is the perfect complement to D60 users who are just starting to learn D-SLR photography or enthusiasts who love their D90.

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens is ideal for travel, general photography, landscape shooting, portraiture or pushing creative boundaries. The stunning sharpness, clarity and color reproduction are all proof positive of more than 75 years of NIKKOR heritage and experience in optics engineering.

This lens continues the tradition of NIKKOR precision optics to provide photographers with sharp, high-resolution images and the ability to focus as close as 0.98 feet, while the integration of an ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, whisper-quiet AF operation.

Thanks bro.

Let me list out some Pros of this DX 35mm f1.8 lens.

PROs
1. Very sharp straight from f1.8
2. Big aperture of f1.8, good for low light and bokeh
3. Equivalent to 52.5mm focal length
4. Small & light
5 Affordable

Cons
1. May not be wide enough when using it indoors.

I used to have it before I upgraded to full frame and considered it a must have for DX shooters. It's a better choice for portraits than the 18-55mm kit lens but may not be wide enough for landscape.

Thanks guys, luckily it was all peaceful when I was there. They were probably not protesting at tourist spots.

Here's an example of a night environmental portrait (although the subject is not facing the cam as he was a stranger).

Thanks and yes. You can search YouTube too.

Edit: I usually use Manual mode when the lights get dim, if use aperture mode, the shutter speed might be too low causing camera shake and not enough brightness on your subjects.

One more night shot in manual mode. I sucks big time at panning shots:

[roo7]

Nice, I find manual is challenging as I always have to take a shot first to check on the exposure, especially if we are moving around..

How to do you overcome that ? Any tips ?

If the scene has even ambient lighting, just look at your exposure scale inside your view finder while adjusting the aperture and shutter settings.

However, sometimes even when the scene has even ambient lighting, it's scattered with spots of much brighter lights (eg. spot lights), you usually need to "over-expose" your shots. This is because the camera sensor would be fooled by the small spots of bright lights and under-exposed the shot.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say, lol.

This shot is for all our bros here!
