Agreed. And plus, it's hard to give comments and criticism about pictures that have no real goal behind them. They're just random shots, if you will.
Honestly, if you want ANY sort of versatility, your stock 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 is your best bet. A fisheye is not going to take pictures that yourparents and grandparents will enjoy, or reference as memorable pictures-- rather, they'd just be a "cool" photo. Does that make sense?Originally Posted by 10 Piece Nuggets
HEY
I have a question guys. What lens can I buy for a beginner with a D40, looking for a lens that can take short range pictures with better quality than the stock lens basically. Im going on vacation soon and mainly want a lens that can take great pics of my family, and maybe some scenery. Or should I just pickup a fish eye lens?

?, Tell me about the lighting positions in these photos,
I shoot alot of people so I'm saving for some flash.

I'm sure one of the flash was on the camera right a little above their heads .. it looks like he might of have had a fill flash to camera left or camera leftback for rim light .. not certain .. but yeah thats what I see .. probably bare (no umbrellas - just straight on)
Shooting random things and expecting it to look artsy is not the mentality you should have when tackling photography.Originally Posted by Chi ILL

If you're going to get another lens, I'd go with a prime, such as a 50mm or the 35mm.
Here's my little bit on the difference:
On a D40, the 50mm is really 75mm, and the 35mm is really 52mm.
The 35mm f/1.8G is going to cost you about $200. It has no aperture ring (which IMO is easier to use, you'll have to use your scroll wheel to change the aperture), but you have AF and metering and can shoot in Auto mode.
The 50mm f/1.8 is going to cost you about $50, it has an aperture ring, but has no AF or metering (which means you have to do it manually and can only shoot in M)
The 50mm f/1.4 AF-S is going to cost you about $500, has no aperture ring, but has AF and will meter and shoot in Auto.
The 50mm f/1.4 AI,AI-s, etc. is going to cost you about $120 and will be the exact same as the f/1.8 except it'll open up 0.4 stops more.
If you're stuck on getting a wide angle, your options are 12-24mm ($900) and 14-24mm ($1500).
And there you have it.
My suggestion, get the 50mm f/1.8 on eBay for $50.
