Giant robber fly with blue wings

[Infinite_Day]

Unfortunately, no speed light as of right now. It's high on the list but so are a lot of other things right now. I shoot mostly wildlife - the bigger kind than insects - so a flash wasn't super high to start. I'm busy socking away spending money before vacation right now. I'm torn between getting a good flash, a good tripod or replacing the 18-105 with something in the 17-50/55 range for our trip to Ireland. I'm leaning toward the lens for street photography and landscapes which will put a decent flash off for a while. Le sigh.... Thanks for all of the suggestions, however. Gives me a lot to think about.

I used only the built-in flash when i first started. Worked okay too. Check out the first pic on this page: My Macro Rig - Then and Now | Up Close with Nature
