> Ok, maybe I will stick with that for awhile. Thanks! I just got a 50mm 1.8 lens since it seems to be a good bang for the buck lens. That and my auto-focus is broke on my 18-55 too. (don’t ask).

With those two lenses you can hammer out some quality shots. Scott Chu [www.schottchu.com](http://www.schottchu.com) only used an 18-55 for most of his work for quite a while. Which can prove the misconception about needing extravagant equipment to make quality photos.

I personally used to use Topaz Adjust and Photoshop CS3. I now use Photoshop CS5 and thats it.
