the 18-200 is not good for low light, like it seemed you wanted to take in your previous post. i'd go for the 35mm/1.8 or 50mm/1.8 depending on what you're shooting with, IMO.
also - a decent flash helps if you don't have a tripod; if you can remote it somewhere, even better. but i'm still getting used to shooting in lowlight as well, so take my thoughts with grains of salt.

Also, the gear only gets you so far. I hit a plateau a while back and decided to take some one on one classes with a local photographer. Needless to say, I learned so much from him that it totally changed the way I take pictures. I'm using a pre-owned canon 7D with my old t2i kit lens, the cheapy 50 1.8 and the 85 1.8. Nothing expensive or grand, but when used right can yield amazing results, good enough to start a side business lol. Check out my portfolio in my signature down there.
Also, invest in some cheap speedlights and wireless triggers for a complete revamp of your photography skills. Again, all can be had for very inexpensive prices.

85 f/1.8 is a great bang-for-buck lens. a lot of the lower end L-glass is very good for that, the 17-40 f/4 L is an amazing lens for the money. i use my frequently

Here's some pictures from a recent Titan meet/campout at Lake Cushman up here in the sunny PNW. Took so many different shots that I had trouble deciding what to put up.

Stuff I see.
This was on the steps at The Met in NYC. Wonder if her guy saw an upside-down me taking his picture?
