Photography - Nikon D40? |
I have just got my hands on a Nikon D40 SLR Camera and love it! However, I'm already wondering what else to buy so I can take better pics. I wanna do a lot more with the camera such as taking sporting shots, such as football and horse racing/jumping along with baby photos but am not sure what else to buy Currently, I only have the standard D40 with 18-55mm lens.... Any ideas or suggestions on what I could invest in ? Get a tripod for low light and action shots. UV filter/circular polariser Now just concentrate on taking awesome pictures (U don't need much) I would get to know the camera functions etc b4 spalshing out on equipment. However a telephoto lens is handy to have, a flash gun (with bounce head) and plenty of practice. For sports you will find that a 70-300mm lens will be great. Take a class or two at your local community college to get your camera skills that will help you enhance you photo skills. DigiPro The Ace's answer is aces. Invest in a course at the community college or adult school or hang out with or join a camera club. Once you have a clue, you will know what is the best equipment to add to enhance your interests. I'd agree that the Nikon 70-300 VR lens (and not one if their lesser lenses - PLEASE) is a great first addition. It's "moderately priced" at under $500 and well worth the cost. The body is generally a back seat when it comes to images. Lenses rule! Get yourself some good lenses. And realize that a DSLR and good lens does not a pro make. Understand the basics of photography and have a good eye for composition. For sports you'll want a fast zoom, look at the AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8. |
