Thank you all and to Jose yes indeed hm where to begin I think the suggestion of a good book and that lighting 101 tutorial is a pretty solid place to start well that and my camera lol. I will be shooting indoors and won't have a dedicated studio as we do not have the room will be in my lounge room or in my sewing room. I would love to be able to take a good photo any time of day without having to wait for the right light (as there is only one or two spots in my house with a clean background, a white wall) I do have a tripod. I will try and find some pictures of the type of photos I am after I don't think I have actually seen any that I aspire to I just want to take great photos

<p>Thank you so I am going to sound completely stupid now and I apologise for my ignoran ce. When reading the lightin 101 he mentions a flash that mounts to the top of the camera not the pop up kind that is inbuilt into the camera I take it that is a seperate purchase to the D7100. Any suggestions as to what type I should get?</p>

<p>Hi I have just purchased a Nikon D7100 with the lens AF-S 18-140mm VR and I am wondering if I should also get a portrait lens such as a 35mm or 50mm? I will be using the camera predominately for my business where I take photos of the handmade items I create and my daughter modelling them. I make little girls clothes and soft dolls and take the photographs in doors.<br> <br />Is the lens I bought ample or should I also purchase a portrait lens?</p> <p>Sorry for my ignorance I know virtually nothing about photography but am so keen to get my camera and learn.</p>
