Kit Canon

Which lens next for my Canon kit?
I am a (very) novice photographer who has just received his first digital SLR, a Canon 450D with 2 lenses, an EFS 18-55mm and a EFS 55-250mm. I am experimenting and getting the hang of it and turning out some nice shots. Which lens should I add to my kit or should I go for some other piece of equipment like a speedlite or tripod. Thanks all.
Hello,
I'd say that right now you've got a pretty good set of glass, especially for a beginner. Those lenses will cover quite a range of situations.
The tripod is the next big, important thing to get. Without a tripod, zoom/telephoto is difficult, and low light, nighttime and special effects are almost impossible. The good news is that a good tripod will still cost less than a new lens, and it'll help you get much more out of your camera. Be wary of cheap tripods, and when you go to a store, spend some time messing around, getting a feel for everything that they've got. Feel for something solid, and also look for the possibility of exchangeable heads, so that you could swap out a ball for a pan, depending on what you need.
Hope this helps!
