Your photography is quite breath-taking. You portray the beauty of nature very well. Also, are there any tips you can give me? Thanks.

A speedlight just puts out a stronger, more concentrated flash compared to a continuous light. Also, the speedlight should sync up with your camera to get the iso, aperture and shutter speed when used in a semi automatic mode, such as aperture priority. That macro is supposed to be awesome for close ups, and the telephoto will definitely come in handy, although I would probably go with something a little shorter, like maybe the 70-200 lens. I would also suggest something that is a little wider angle besides the fisheye. I like the effect of fisheye but you're not going to want to use it every time and you need a wide angle to get the family shots. Carrie Butler uses the 24-70 a LOT and loves it, and she's thinking of trying to get an even wider angle, like maybe a 16mm, to use once in a while, especially to shoot the dance floor etc.

Hi , I’m buying a Nikon D5000 with , Micro Nikkor 105mm lens , AF-S 300mm telephoto and a Fisheye 10.5mm Nikkor, One Macro Ring Flash and one speed light flash for Nikon (THIS LAST item really I’m Lost) , I’m wondering if all this equipment will give me the right results for taking professional pictures in the future? I’m risking good money and I will like to know if I’m going to the right direction.
I want to become in a professional photographer for weddings and I enjoy very much photography and wildlife , but I don`t have any idea about all this , I’m learning in the process while I´m trying to make some money at the same time .
Please can you give some directions ?
