I just got back from an excellent trip to Japan, and was fortunate to get this shot of a Maiko Geisha as she entered the famous Ichiriki-tei tea house on Hanami-koji street in Kyoto.

It was dark outside, so I used the new and very nice Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens with a higher ISO. I had no idea what the results would be! Looking at the image now, it could pass for a performance on a stage due to the street lights and curtain.
I have used the Nikon 35mm f1.8 quite a bit now, and I don't have a single complaint. It is great for travel photography, as it is lightweight, inexpensive, great in low-light conditions, has an excellent background blur, and works very well with DSLR video.
