No studio lights needed. Light painting plus long exposure does the trick.

What kinda of lights do you need to take pics like this? I wanna get shots like that lol studi lights on ebay are like $50-$60 but idk how i would power them

I use this Craftsman LED rechargeable light that looks similar to this:

But now I'm going to make this:

Dizzzam! I want a full-frame now, Joe. I'm getting tired of the crop sensor and how my 35mm acts more like like a 50mm. So whatever lens I get, I have to remember that the true focal length will be more "zoomed" because of the cropping.

I'll buy your camera if you wanna sell it lol. I would love to have a d7k. I'm glad I bought this lens over the 1.4 too. Does what I need at less than half the cost

I like my d3200. I just started getting into photography and I've captured amazing shots with it.

For us photo noobs, why did you pick the 1.8 over the 1.4?

Honestly I think just the same performance at less than half the cost. The 1.4 was appealing until I saw the $450 price tag. When I found a photographer on CL had the 1.8 for sale I scooped it right away and came to find he only used it twice over the span of a year. He even threw in a nice Polaroid UV filter. If I had to spend $450 I would probably invest more and buy a new telephoto lens.
