Starting to get into photography, specifically at conventions. Any tips in getting better? Any relatively low cost gear I should invest in?
Currently have a D90 w/ 35mm and 18 - 55mm lenses.
Pls respond

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D easily. It's around $100, is fast and will give you really nice out of focus backgrounds which is great for the type of photography you're into.

Flashes, get at least 1 flash you can trigger off camera, a soft box, and maybe a light stand.

Looking into it a bit more, what exactly does the 50mm provide over the 35mm?

A bit more natural look for close-up portraits.
Get a flash, I personally like the Godox VING V850 because of the rechargeable battery and its capable of HSS

Oh God yes! Toyography? Loving it! What's next, Trollie McTrollerson? Slowing down our ultrafast primes for some unspecified effect? Or maybe speeding up our zooms, by re-glassing them ourselves? Come on! Let us in on it... Thread's gonna 404 from the nudie pic anyway!
