My camera lens broke!

I have a Nikon 50mm 1.4G lens on a D7000 body. The aperture slide on the the lens itself is locked halfway. I'm afraid to touch it, what do I do?

I am unable to set up apertures, even though the camera says f/1.4.
The aperture itself is closed all the way, like when you take the lens off the camera.

Please help me.

Best options when upgrading a Photographic camera?

I'm wanting to upgrade but am so scared to do so.
Every camera has pros and cons and so far I can't even begin to pick.
I am wanting a Nikon, and obviously something far better than my D3100 (yes I know… but Im only 20! hehe) but as far as that all goes I'm pretty much just confused as hell.
I like the sound of the Nikon D700- Can you please give me your thoughts.
Would I be better off to upgrade my lenses first? I have been thinking of upgrading my lenses first for a while but I don't have a very good backup camera yet and will need one this summer.
Thanks to anyone who can be bothered replying to my hideously long speech lol
Added (1). Age matters because I was trying to instill the fact that I am only starting out in life, and that's why I could only afford a shitty camera ;)
My business has kicked off to an extremely major degree- I am almost working full time and I would like to be able to give my clients the best photography I can give them, My camera is holding me back.
Added (2). Thankyou, that seems like the way to go so far
Added (3). Don't be an *** to me when you haven't seen my pictures.
OBVIOUSLY I am very talented otherwise I wouldn't have a fulltime career in this industry?!!
But my camera IS NOT capable of doing what I need it to (same with my lenses) and NO AMOUNT OF TALENT can fix that.

Why aren't I photogenic!

I recently bought a Nikon D3100 for photography and filming. I used to have a normal standard digital camera, a camcorder, a iPhone and on each camera it made me look long, big eyes, long chin, wonky slanted face and withdrawn skin.
When I tried to film off of the cameras, I sounded deep, and as if I was mumbling - and it made my face wonky, wider, longer and just not me.
I tried doing a first vlog today for YouTube and it just does the same, long face, huge eyes, and ridiculous voice.
Is it the lighting, is it the camera, is it me???
Filming and photography is what I wanna do, and I want to be on both sides of the camera - as I'm very insecure, I pay attention to my looks a lot.

What's the issue? It's really annoying!
Added (1). And my photo here is what I DO look like, as the camera was pointing towards the mirror… and for some reason mirror shots make me look me.

What lens to use for full body potraits in studio?

So I have 3 D FX nikon lenses 24/35/50. I will not be shooting them on my 35mm F5. I want to use the 35mm lens on my D90/D2H. Would that be suitable for a full size potrait? I have converted my living room for the shoot and have muslin backgrounds up and lighting. Also after the muslin I only have another 7-10 feet so I'm not sure if I could use a longer lens. I do have the kit lens 18-105 that came with the d90. Also im not using a tripod.

Thanks

Is telephoto zoom lens really good for taking photos with DSLR cameras?

I am thinking of buying a f8-16 telephoto zoom lens with 2x teleconverter for my Nikon d5100. How good will it be for wild-life photography? Can it also be used for astrophotography?
Added (1). What I have in mind is Rokinon 650-1300 f/8-16 Telephoto zoom lens with 2x teleconverter 650-2600..probable made in USA.

Taking pictures of the stars movement with a Nikon D100?

For a science project at school I need to figure out how to take a really really really long exposure picture of the night sky.My mom told me it was possible with her old nikon D100. I know there is a setting where you can just tape down the button that you take a picture with (sorry I'm not that great with terminology) and leave it for a few hours. I just don't know where it is. I do not expect these pictures to be good… I'm probably going to get either just black or a bunch of clouds or a blur because a car went into my neighbors driveway and blinded the photo. :P I still have more than a month to figure this out though: D

Can you get the same depth of field, with a Nikon D5100?

This shot was taken with a canon 5D mark 2, and I love the shallow DOF and was wondering… if taken properly… can you get the same DOF with a Nikon D5100, with the right lenses of coarse.
