Hi

As i have used my Canon Eos 650D for a while with the 18-55mm kit lens i have brought this also:
55-250mm IS II
Battery Grip
Velbon DF-60 Tripod
Canon Deluxe Bag
UV and CPL filters + hoods for the lenses.
And have a Yongnuo YN-568EX on the way.

What would be the next thing i should get, a gel kit for the flash maybe?
I like to photograph cars and similiar, and wildlife when the weather gets better.

And is there any DIY things i can use?
Allready added a hook to the tripod for my camera bag for added stability.

Kind regards

It's hard to say what you need next. Is there anything you are trying to do that you can't because you don't have the right kit?
 
Why spend money for the sake of it?
You've got a great starter kit there, learn to use it and see which direction you want to go in then head from there. ;)
If you want to shoot cars then you'll probably want to use the flash off-camera so a stand and some way of controlling the Yongnuo would probably be worth getting.
But, if you're serious about wanting to shoot wildlife then my suggestion would be put the money to one side until you can afford something like a Sigma 150-500 as your 55-250 won't be anywhere near long enough.
Have fun with it all, look forward to seeing some shots. :thumbs:
 
Thanks.
Just wanted to know if there was any "must haves" i didnt have.
 
There's loads of 'must haves', whether you actually need any of them is a different matter. :lol:

Your trying to find a reason to spend money.Go and take photos.:thumbs:
 
I would suggest you use your kit and find out what you really 'need'. Usually, we end up buying lots more than we really need for a start, then change kit over time!

I've now pared my kit down to 1 body, 1 50mm prime, 1 fast portrait lens, a superzoom and a 300mm prime...and that's still too much kit for what I really need!

Just got my Yn-568ex and Its really Nice.
Never had a flash before, so have I understood this corretly, that the 650D can wirelessly control the flash via the inbuilt flash.

Never mind, just found out I needed to select either easy wireless or wireless in the camera menu.
What's the differences between
Ext flash:built-in and ext flash+built-in?
