Hi everyone!
So the birthday of a few friends is coming up in a few days and I've been thinking about maybe taking pictures of their party as a gift since they said they don't want any gifts anyway, this is also a way to spread the word about my photography to more people, which could help me in the future...
They are throwing a party in a cabin somewhere I've been before and I know it is a pretty dark place and cell phone pictures always suck there so I'm considering using this as an excuse to get a flash since I've been thinking about getting one for a while anyway.
I have a Nikon D3100 and I know some flashes cost almost as much as the street value of this camera but I want one that will be good even with something better I would get in the future (thinking full frame).
So yeah, I'm willing to cash out some decent money for a decent flash, any suggestions?
Should I go with a Nikon Speedlight or are there other brands that are good at it too?
I see that the Speedlight SB-700 is a pretty big bestseller here and I've been thinking about getting it, but again I don't know much about flashes...
