I have been a hobbyist photographer with my 5 year old Nikon D40 (18-55mm) until now. I do get occasional good shots, but most of them are not satisfying in terms of good lighting and composition.
I feel now is the time for me to take a deeper dive into photography. I want to take a serious path of learning, both theoretical and practical.
35mm f/1.8G Lens as a companion lens to the kit lens (I can afford it now).
I have always loved the perspective a wide angle lens offers.
The opportunity to compose a photo better is better IMHO with wide angle lens.
I would appreciate it if you would offer your advice and suggestions from your experience on how to become better at lighting and composition, if the lens choice I made is appropriate for my path, and ultimately some additional practical tips and resources that can be useful for my journey.
