1)if take bug pic, i would prefer micro lens ea: tamron sp90, AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
  if animal,are you capturing animal like lion,tiger those?? or bird?? there are different categories for them,AFAIK for bird shoot, u need at least 
  400mm..if normal animal like cat and dog those,i think 18-105 if enough...

2)what is running river mean?? sry for my poor english tongue.gif

wow, thanks for the suggestion man, they really are useful wink.gif . Btw, running water is like a non-stop movement, for example like fountain or rain or even waterfall. The exact opposite of still photos. I really wanna capture the water fragments of those moments >_<;;
