Extension tube(s)!!! so much cheaper than an expensive Macro lens.

CF/SD card!!!!

That shot was direct sunlight through the diffuser (w/o a cover), not flash. But they do diffuse flash pretty well, too. I've tried that just messing around before. I got mine at ritz--the offbrand Quantaray (I just checked and they don't carry it anymore, though).
Edit: looking at the metadata, my flash did fire, but I probably meant to turn it off for this shot. I was probably using it for fill on previous shots.

yeah ritz has stop making that brand

Oh come now, give a man some credit. Of course I already have a second battery!

Get an extra battery. All the other stuff that has been mentioned is stuff you can get later. For now learn your camera! A second battery and your lost lens cap that's it.

+1

(I forgot about an extra battery—I always get one anyway so it isn't the thing that I look into getting long after getting the camera.)

Lol you plan on spending well over 1k on gear and you are rushing in with the purchase so not to lose the $10 coupon.

Join fatwallet.com wait for more deals and use cash back program. You will save more on the total purchase than this coupon. Hell maybe you will even stack it up.

If you do portraits a reflector is handy. The 42" ones fold up to a 14" disc (I think I'm doing the math right there), and in harsh light their shadow gives really diffuse light when you take off the cover since they're translucent. I'll dig up a picture here shot that way and post it...
Edit: found one.

what brand do you use? because im getting more into flash now, i have a sb-800, and im getting two sb-r200's and im oing to try to learn more about lighting and stuff, and that would be another step toward learning more is get reflecters and stuff

could you buy a gift card with it? then just save the money until you do find something you need?

you could get a flash defuser ... those gray fong things work good i hear, althought i have not toyed with them

Grey card for metering and white balance?

Both of these I do not have and I have been thinking about...

Card reader?

Do you have a reflector?

Grey card for metering and white balance?

Light meter in case you ever get AI lenses?

I wasn't even thinking about my missing lens cap, which is a good idea. But I still need somethin' else. Have a cleaning system, just got memory cards before I god this coupon, I'm good on the software front...

Good suggestions, though.

Software?

Filters? Cleaning Systems? Memory cards?

just start adding things to your cart and don't stop until it is full.

I have a coupon for 10 bucks off an Adorama purchase of 50 bucks or more. Which sounds pretty sweet to me... only problem is that it expires in 10 days and I have no idea what to get.

Thoughts?

Right now I'm set on: body (D90), flash (SB-600), bag, tripod...
