Good workshops are worth attending. Paid RM 1.5k for a 3 day workshop this year.

As for basic classes, normally camera brands offer beginner classes. I've seen classes organized by Canon, Nikon and Sony.

There are other classes too, or simple seminar / talk. I'm giving a talk on Saturday on food photography. smile.gif

totally disagree on this one.

if you can recommend 35mm then others also can recommend 50mm and others.

best just to stick to that 18-55.

Yes, but it's a gamble if you just go buy a lens without knowing if you really need the lens; and lenses are not cheap. biggrin.gif

sticking with kit lens for a while is a good start, one can easily realize what kind of focal length often used. then only decide to get one that used the most especially in low light, one of the main reason why prime lens are made.

travel usually involve a lot of wide end 27mm-35mm for taking "what you see" at the scene, like street view, buildings, scene, landscape. occasion zoom is needed when the scene gets too crowded when you want to get closer to the subject like statue or stall or people or buildings from far away where you need to spend time walking to the place (time is precious during travel!). you can't beat kit lens for travel, which is what most people use their camera for. prime lens are useful for night strolling or indoor events or like what many parents do - shooting your running kids. so choose wisely. biggrin.gif

er, feel free to bring la. smile.gif More important you bring your phone because that's how you get to eat.

I'll be just doing sharing on how I take food photos, and will most likely have a live demo.

The live demo setup is done. biggrin.gif Thanks to Canon Malaysia for the 70D + ST-E3 + 600EX-RT sets. Later tonight (before I sleep) have to go try try some stuff.
