i like your still life pictures. The first one with the ant and the candle is pretty cool. It always depends on the kind of photography you want to do? Advice is always difficult because photography has so many different shapes.

Depending on what kind of photography you want to do you need different equipment and knowledge.

For example on Longtime exposures you need a tripod, filters, a camera that allows to manually adjust aperture and exposure time, maybe a remote control.
