50mm f/1.8E, part 2

Last night, I took my D80 with me to a restaurant called The Pomegranate, on College St. just east of Bathurst. The inside of the restaurant was nicely decorated with Iranian art. The 50mm lens I decided to carry around then, was not wide enough to take pictures of the restaurant but far in the corner, there was this garment hung on the wall. It looked exquisite. I might have some trouble shooting it with my 18-200mm lens but with the 50mm it was a snap. However, it did take me a couple of shots to get the right exposure. Damn, these manual lenses are slow to work with! :)

Anyways, I am a bit surprised to see how sharp the chandelier was. These two shots were taken at f/1.8. I don't remember the shutter speed or ISO setting.
