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!
