Digital Photography Post Processing

Geting an old canon xti . just the body. some questions.?

i am a beginner to digital photography. a friend of mine is passing over his canon xti (only body) to me as he is upgrading to a new one. i want to buy a lense for it . as i am intrested in portrait, like you know that blurry back ground and sharp subject kind of lenses..( i think tele lense??) also i love to shoot nature . i am ok to buy any other lense other than canon too. he has suggested me few but i would like some more suggestions from u guys too. is there any lense thats is good for portrait and nature photography ?


now i was reading in some article that all the images need to be post processed. so does that mean that every image that i take from camera has to be post processed? or else it will not look good in terms of colour?


is it the lense of the camera that gives the nice colour to the photography ? if so which lense gives the best colur ?

You did not mention your budget, since a budget would really help us make a better suggestion. Good portraits lenses costs near a grand, some even more. To start off, I would suggest you buy a Canon 50mm f/1.4 This lens would be suitable for portraits because of its large aperture (giving you defocused backgrounds with minimized distractions), and its focal length of 50mm (which translate to a nice 75mm on a camera like yours). If you're pockets are a little deeper, consider the Canon 85mm f/1.8. It's even better than the 50mm for portraits.

For nature photography; well, it really depends on what you're capturing. For landscapes, a wide angle lens is recommended. For that, you can get a Canon 10-22mm lens, or a Sigma 10-20mm for a cost-effective solution. For wildlife, you'll need a telephoto lens. Consider getting the Canon 55-250mm, or even the 70-200 f/4 The 70-200 is a great lens that worth getting if your budget allows for it. When buying a telephoto, it also saves if you buy a teleconverter. Teleconverter are devices that attach to the back of the lens. It's purpose is to increase focal length. It comes in several different magnifications, such as 1.4x, 1.7x, and 2x.

No, you do not need post-processing to make a picture beautiful. It is important to perfect your photography skills so that minimal post processing is required. And no, a lens is not designed to give a "nice colour" to your pictures. It largely depends on the time of the day you're shooting, where you shooting, and what.
