Okay so what to buy next ???

[Footski]

I currently have a Nikon D60 with 18-55mm kit lens and a Nikkor 55-200mm lens. I have agood kit bag, plenty of memory, UV filters for the lens's and a powerful PC to run Photoshop Elements for the editing of my pictures.

My question is fairly simple.....What should I buy next for my little photography set up?, bearing in mind, the budget is not bottomless..

The Nikon 35mm f/1.8. It's fairly cheap and the image quality is awsome. Primes are fun for composing and it will also give you a solution for low-light situation. It will also auto-focus on you D60.

You could also check for and external flash such as the SB600. It's in the same price range, again a solution for low-light situation and bounces are really fun to play with.

A good tripod is also a very nice addition. A good one such as the Manfrotto 190XPROB is in the same price range.

Finally, you could wait for the 85mm f/3.5 macro that should be out soon but it's a little bit more expansive.

That's 4 ideas !!!

A book. Seriously.

Until you've totally maxed out your current equipment, more gear is only going to weigh your bag down and empty your wallet

This is actually a very good idea

Last summer I purchased the book called The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos.
The Photographer's Eye

I must admit I saw a real improvement. It cover the art portion of photopgrahy and how to better frame which is something you don't read about often. Book such as Understanding Exposure are good, but I passed Aperture, ISO and Shutterspeed concepts long time ago.
