<p>Thank you all for the information!<br> @Elliot Bernstein, why stick only with Nikon flashes? I think there are some 3rd party lenses that are pretty good on Nikon cameras. Why not Flashes?<br> Please excuse my ignorance.</p>

<p>Good day everyone. I am an amateur photographer with a Nikon 7100 DSLR with a few lenses. My interest in photography is taking photos of people (various settings), portrait photography and building architectures (exterior and interior). So far I have been only using the built-in flash when required.<br> Now, the big question. What is the advantage of an external Flash? What is good recommended external flash for my photography interests?<br> <br />Thank you in advance for any advice.</p>
