You don’t take a photograph, you make it. – Ansel Adams

With that in mind, here is a fine collection of tools to make beautiful photographs. The rest is in the eye of the beholder.

* Nikon D3100 14.2-Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens. We prefer red.

* Nikon – AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens. One of the two lenses that are all almost anyone would ever need.

* Nikon – Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Lens. Beyond these two, you're starting a collection and that can get dangerous.

* Nikon – SB-700 AF Speedlight External Flash. Light has color.

* Manfrotto – 055 Series 70.3" Tripod. Steady as she goes.

* Manfrotto – Ball Head. With mounts, you get what you pay for.

* PNY – 32GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Class 4 Memory Card. Memory is cheap; buy several.

* Lowepro – Slingshot 102 AW Camera Shoulder Bag. Take care of your toys.
