I think that really depends on what you're going to be doing. The first thing I would buy for that is a 50mm F1.8 nikkor lens. They are a hundred bucks and an amazing value for the money. If you want to stick with the kit lens for now, maybe look into an SB-600 flash. The built in flash is rather weak, so if you need better flash distance, then get a new flash. Other than that, maybe a telephoto lens? As far as nikon goes, I'd stray from the 70-300 ED and try to find a used 70-210mm. They are a couple hundred bucks and take very sharp pictures as well. That's just my opinion. Congrats on your awesome new camera.

The desire and ability to walk out your door to see what's there. The taking of pictures of what's there. That and the camera, is all you will ever need. Try to visualize what compositions of ordinary everyday life around you looks like in a rectangular format, within its borders. Look through your viewfinder to see what subjects look like. Explore, explore and then explore some more---with a healthy dose of experimentation. Photography is freedom. Photography is art.

Scott,

I don't react very often to your posts, but I admire you. Some people always find the right words to say what they have to say. You always have the right words AND the right picture too.... I am impressed, you must have an incredible database... Please keep posting like that
