LED ring vs Squared LED for wedding pics

Adrianpz1 — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:21:09 GMT

I am stuck between ordering these two LED lights for indoor low lighting pictures. I have a fixed 50 mm 2.8/F lens but still dont think it's enough . I saw these two styles of lamps but was told by a local photography shop the circular lights are more for upclose portraits and recommended the squared LED. I'll be walking around taking pictures.

Any suggestions?????

Using Canon 3ti

50mm and 15-55mm lens

thank you

Get an external flash instead.

Your T3i can act as a master flash so you can even get the external flash off camera for even better results.

Canon recently updated their 430EX flash, so the 430EX II is selling at what I consider a good price.

Won't I need someone to carry that around?
Just to make sure you're talking about a flash that is not connected to the camera correct?

It can be used on camera or off camera.
