What would you recommend?
I am new to photography, I have a freshly built workstation with Photoshop CS5 and am extremely eager to learn. I've already spent quite a bit of time studying techniques and terminology but it is time to actually take some photos. I know nothing will help me learn faster than that.
I was thinking of buying a Canon EOS 7D and an additional lens. I am not sure what lens to choose.
I will be using the camera to shoot a wide variety of things. Portraits, objects (in a room with controlled lighting as well as outside), landscape, macro, etc.
Any recommendations or good places to start? Should I start with a lesser camera? I definitely do not want to feel the need to upgrade a month later. My friends who are into photography have Canons as well and said I could borrow lenses.
So, what would you do?
Thanks!
