The camera's all you need for now.

Go out, take some pictures of subjects you like.

Take different angles, and comapre which one you like better. Take it center, off-center, aligned to top, bottom, etc.

Post them here, and get opinions, critiques, and learn from the experience. Next time you go out, you will be a little bit better.

Rinse and repeat. (buy the other equipment as you grow as a photographer)

Emulate those who are doing what you want to do.

Do not use "P", point and shoot, or any of the pre-programed modes ever again. Buy a book, learn about exposure, and use Av, Tv, or M from now on. (unless you already do)

When you know what you want/need and know why you want/need it, then you should go out and buy it.
