The AlienBees are tempting however shipping to Canada gets really expensive. I'd end up paying $100+ just for shipping and fees.

I live in Canada. The shipping will probably make my wallet beg for mercy.

Thank you all for the great advice. I've had my eye on the 50mm for quite some time.

@vannphoto I do have a tripod and it helps tremendously.

Any suggestions on studio lighting I should take a look at? Preferably something under $400. Strobes seem like a better idea.

Hello everyone!

I'm new here and hungry for some advice. I'm going through all the threads and the wealth of information here is just amazing.

I have a Nikon D3000 with the kit lens. I don’t have any other lenses or studio lights. Is it possible for me to successfully venture into food photography (also interested in stills/portraiture with my limited equipment?

I'm learning about (and love) natural light but the days are getting shorter so I'm absorbing all the knowledge I can about artificial light.

I plan on getting my hands on some fast glass but my budget is very low at the moment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
