Flash for Canon Rebel

[ferrellphotography]

Hi, not sure if I am in the right place. I am in need of an extra flash for my

camera. I use a Canon Digital EOS, in some cases the built in flash is fine.

But in some cases, I need a little extra. Do yall have any ideas of what I

should look for? I shoot alot of weddings, and in some cases, when I mess in

photoshop with the lighting, it can start to look really bad. I am wanting to

take pictures, and the lighting be the best it can be without much editing.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!!

At a minimum I would look at a shoe mount flash. I shoot a Canon 30D with a Canon 430EX when not using external lighting. Obviously the problem with a built in flash is first of all output and then second of all the flash is too close to the lens (red eye). Photoshop can only do so much. In my humble opinion, avoid direct flash without bouncing it off something (white card mounted on top of the shoe flash, a wall, etc)

There are plenty of good shoe mounted flash units out there if that is where you want your lighting to come from. Since you are shooting Canon you may want to look at their selection. Just throwing my two cents in. Great shooting.
