[QUOTE=christian370z;1330751]Thanks Dallaz, I tried to keep it clean and simple which I feel best suites the look of the Z. I was checking out your photography by the way, I love it. I have been working hard to improve my quality and feel like I have made good progress but up until now, I have only been using the basic kit lens so I am buying a Nikkor 50mm prime to see if I can start advancing my skills a bit more.

Do you have any tips on how I could improve?



Just keep shooting. There is nothing wrong with the kit lens but if you want to get real creative You should look into a wide angle lens. Also you mentioned getting a 50mm prime lens which is good because any prime lens forces you to move around and find the best perspective instead of just going with the first angle you think might work and just zooming in or out to frame the photo. Your photos will definitely improve after shooting with it for a while.

But because you have a DX crop sensor a 50mm will actually be equivalent to 75mm on full frame, so you will find yourself scooting back quite often to get everything in the photo. I have the perfect lens for you! The Sigma 30mm f1.4..... On your sensor it will be approx 45mm lens so a little wider and more like a 50mm lens on full frame. I have this lens for my D90 and it is awesome.

You can really blur the background using it at f1.4 and it also is a very sharp lens. If there is anything else I would recommend it would be a circular polarizer filter. Basically (idk if you already know about these) it's just a filter that goes on the front of the lens and protects your lens and you can rotate it to reduce reflections on lots of surfaces (say the reflection on your car) and it enhances colors and cloud texture in the sky as you rotate it.
