What do you have, and what do you want to take photos of ?

I dont really have a camera bag which I can pack my lenses and stuff in. = first option
I dont have a flash ( well ofc I have the flash thats in my 1000D, but I want a good one ) = second option

What I want to try in future:

taking my portrait photography on a higher level
trying light graffitsi / paintings on a professional level ( that means I´ll try to get away from that "randomly-moving-around-a-source-of-light-in-a-dark-room-and-see-what-happens" )
trying night shots in general ( multiple exposure etc, I dont really know the right term in english )

If you do not have a bag, I suggest you buy one!
An other thing could be a tripod, since you talk about light graffiti and the night shots.
The flash is handy when it comes to indoor shots.

I have a quite good cullman tripod already

I`ll prolly get the bag from my aunt, which is pretty cool. so I thought about getting more stuff. a flash is really teasing atm

The flash is great to have. I think you should get one.
I have the 430ex II, which is great for common use.

What lenses do you have ?

currently I´m just having the kit lenses:
- ( EF 18-55mm )
- ( EF 75-300mm )

E: buying a lense would be another option. just dunno what kind of lense I should get

I need to add items and upgrade in the future, just cant buy everything at once. is the 430 EX II a rather cheap or expensive one? I dont really know much about flashs.

The 50mm II 1,8, is a good cheap choice.

Well, the 580ex II is its elder brother, and there is a smaller one.

Definitely get the flash, any old bag is adequate, just use some old tshirts or whatever for padding, or buy some bubble wrap.

You might want to look at getting some good quality filters too.

oh yeah filters. what would you suggest? you can go abit in depth while describing if you wish
