A vendor sells freshly frilled squid on the side of the road. These little stalls are scattered throughout Bangkok and they are so cheap and delicious.

⁣⁣Once you've had your fill of freshly-grilled squid, you should definitely follow it up with the iconic banana pancake (roti gluay) if you can find it!⁣

This was taken handheld with the 50mm f/1.8. The nifty fifty is generally left languishing in my camera bag (sorry, Nikon), but I love it for street photography as it's small and unobtrusive - plus the fast aperture helps with low-light conditions. It also helps force me to look for compositions because it's a fixed focal length. So even though I don't really utilise it, I love it when I do. There's definitely a reason almost every photography has one in their bag.  ⁣

This is the last one from my Bangkok Chinatown series.⁣⁣

The details for this image are:

  • Nikon D750⁣ with Nikon 50mm f/1.8⁣
