So i have bought a Samsung GX-10 with the 18-55 kit lens about 5 months ago. I have now been playing with it for a while and learning how it works. It has been fun.
Now i hope that soon i will have some money to spend on this thing. SO here is a question i have not been able to answer: What should i get next? Obviously it depends on what i want to do with my camera.
Well, right now I take pictures of a lot of things. I travel a bit, and i will travel more, so travel photography and photojournalism is something that i am interested in. I also like to take portrait shots, architectural pictures, indoor photography...
In the long term i am really intersted in doing some night architectural photography.
SO what do you think my next investment should be?
Should i save up a bit longer and buy a wide angle lens for the architectural pictures?(i think that the sigma 10-20 will be my next lens)?
Should i buy a tripod and start practicing on night photography? (i have been looking at Manfrotto's 055XB with a 488RC2 Ball head)
I don't have any decent software on my mac and i want to work with raw files soon because i am never sure that i have the right white balance and exposure(how can you on a small LCD screen in a bright place?) and i want to get the best out of the few good pictures i take. Should i invest in Raw developer, PS element or lightroom? (though i am not big on manipulating pictures i just want them to look as close to reality as possible so PS really doesn't appeal to me...right now i am considering Raw developer to be the best alternative for me)
Should i go ahead and just buy a nice polarized filter as those seam to be more useful on a daily basis and cheaper? (multi coated and circular is a must, right?)
Any other equipment i haven't considered that could be fun out there? Are each of the things i have been looking at the right choices?
Thank you for the upcoming advice,
Cheers
