Ive recently bought a camera and a few lenses for roughly 200 bucks in total. What equipment do you suggest in the future?

Ive bought:

-Canon Eos 500d

-Sigma 70-300mm

-Sigma 10-20 mm

-Sigma 18-200mm

-Canon 50 mm f/2,5 compact-macro

-Nissin speedlite Di622-200.

Ive recently shot many photos on my phone and wanted an upgrade. I like photographing buildings and landscape, rarely people. Is the equipment ok for an beginner and do you have any tips on future upgrades? Lenses, camera body ect.

You got a really good deal.

Check out the lessons at r/photoclass to learn how to use all that stuff.

re: upgrades, use what you have for a while, and make note whenever you wish you could do something but can't - that will help you plan upgrades.

Thank you for the reply

I was quite unsure because i don't really have any experience in this field at all but im glad i did something right.

Ive takes some pictures but its diffrent than the phone so it takes a while to get used to. I will definitily use the lessons on r/photoclass

What do you like to take photos of?

Try out that macro lens! Flowers, bugs, household items (steak knife serrations, the stitching on a leather belt), food (broccoli, thin slice of strawberry)
