General Camera Discussion

[Adrianpz1]

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.

I think you can't go wrong with the Canon 430EX II (I editied my post above).

I'll stick to my Canon brands. Love em. Just ordered the 430ex. Thanks for the help I can't wait till it arrives.
