Finally got the time... and mood... to go down to River Ang Bao held at the Marina Bay Floating Platform. Brought only my 50mm. Yes... only tat with my 40D. No wide angle, zoom, flash or tripod.
A good way to describe the setup was "to train myself on a prime lens". Another way to look at it was - i'm just plain lazy to carry ALL those gears... :P
I sure had to leave my comfort zone using a prime... walking more to get the subject in frame rather than just twisting the zoom ring... haha. And had to use my brain more in finding suitable angles for the subject due to the angle restriction of a prime.
But its fun and challenging, and i like the picture quality of this prime. The wide aperture also serves well for night photography : )
