Equipment
To take great pictures you don't necessarily need great equipment, but it surely doesn't hurt. Plus you need to do something with all that extra cash you are raking in. Below is some very useful equipment and a basic description.

If you own a nikon dslr then this is an excellent lens to own. It is a 50 mm prime(no zoom) with a max aperture of f1.8 for the wonderful, shallow depth of field shots. With the f1.4 costing over 300 dollars this is an excellent bargain at a little over 100 bucks. A lens every Nikon owner should add to their bag. |

An excellent book that goes into great detail on all kinds of different lighting. everything from portraiture to the tricks to lighting glass. This book goes into depth on the reason light acts the way it does and gives a person the knowledge to understand what will work and what wont in nearly any situation. |

These are cheap, offer white, silver, gold, black and transluscent for diffusion. They work great both indoors and outdoors. Well worth the price. |

A great, stable, reliable tripod. Manfrotto makes really good tripods at a fair price. Not as ultra light as others, but in the stock world I prefer stability. |

So many photographers oooh and aahhh over the ball heads, which are great for speed, but for me the very best head you can buy is a gear head. These allow very fine, precise movements in all directions. It has degree marks, a level bubble, and quick releases to allow rapid movement when you aren't dialing for precision. Great for landscapes, macro, and studio shots. You will not be disappointed. Listed on www.thebestthingtobuy.com as the best tripod head. |
