I bought my camera equipment to take pictures of dog show competitions for my wife. I am now interested in taking photographs of my orchids. My photos are OK but I would like to improve. I am presently using a Nikon D40x and the best short range lense I have is a 18-55mm. I have three questions.
1.Any suggestions on the upgrades I should consider.
2. What are good resources to learn about orchid photography?
3. Would a tripod be a good investment?
THANKS
