Just bought a 35mm f1.8 for RM850. Not sure if it's considered cheap or not... sigh...

Hope that it'll complement my existing 18-55 and 55-200 well

But surprisingly, I haven't gotten myself any flashgun yet hahahahaha that will come later I hope




Cheers

It's warm because I'm using warm light in my home (not a single fluorescent) and WB was set to auto.

Yeah, was just experimenting at f/1.8 first


Cheers

Went to Ampang to bring my gf there for her IELTS test. So while waiting, went to KLCC to test out my 35mm Later went to BTS after that

No, I didn't use tripod for all the shots, even for the night ones. Hahahaha yeah, my gf said it was filled with accents

Oh.. and some additional shots too The second shot, I purposely oversaturated it during PP to bring out the Chinese character

Oh yes, purposely made it oversaturated


Yup 35mm. 1st pic no PP. 2nd pic as per my reply to the quote above

I think the 35mm is a sharp lens by itself regardless of what camera that you use. But the all known fact is that d3000 has poor performance at high ISO and of course low light, so using a 35mm on it sort of compensated those weaknesses to me.

Oh yes, it's way much cheaper. You could almost get 2 of the 35mm with one 50mm

Yeap, but it might be a good thing also if it's wider. Else, I won't be able to capture those KLCC shots. Could only see the bridge and nothing else

Also, if your lens is wide, you can always crop it or move forward. For the case of the 50mm, it's already 'narrow' by nature compared to 35mm, so you can't add in the sides if you want to. In this case, it's better to have the details and you can crop it later rather than having no details at all. Furthermore, you cant be moving backward all the times hahaha else, you'll end up like that guy in the video discussed earlier on

Hehehehe yeah, but once I saw the price, I think would get a 35mm + a flashgun + a good tripod And since I have the 18-55 and 55-200 already, thought that I would just get the cheaper of the 2 primes. Money is hard to earn for me hahahaha

I dont think that you should regret having the D3000. You can go to the D3000 group in Flickr and you can see those great shots posted by the members. It's still a decent camera, just that you dont compare it with the D90. They are in the different price range and category altogether. It's like you cant compare those cheap small red apples with those big Fuji ones.

For me, since I know that it does not perform in low light, i set the highest ISO used to be 800, not more than that unless necessary. And make sure that you have steady hands if you dont have a tripod. During daytime, it performs as good as any other dSLR. If you look at some photography mags, most great shots were captured using just a D40 with only 3 AF points. Be proud with what you have and you can make full use of it

Hahahaha I'm no pro either. Just a newbie in photography too. 70-300 is a real good lens and I'm sure that you can do wonders with it on your D3000

Re-edited the second shot for selective coloursplash. Don't know, think that it's better this way hahaha

Correct me if I'm wrong. Your first pic looked a little senget, just a little
