Today I bought a new flash for our new camera. There were a bunch of different options, and we went with the middle of the road one. (everything costs $$$$)… ugh
I bought the Canon Speedlight 430EX II flash.
I have been on the fence about whether or not to buy a new flash or a new lense – I wish I bought just the Body of the T1i, instead of the kit that came with the 13-55mm lense. If I could do it again, I would get just the body and then by the 15-200mm lense.
Anywho – it works for now, but my next big purchase will be that lense – and a bag.
Here’s an example of the difference the external flash makes. (Please excuse the mess in the background – we are in the process of folding our laundry.
Without flash in natural light from window in the background.
With Flash
WHAT A DIFFERENCE the external flash makes!!!!
I can’t wait to take the camera out on a photoshoot!!! I have a newborn session setup for next week, and I’m hoping I can get some family portrait type shots done this weekend
