A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi All, I'm new to flash photography.

Many flashes now come with a round flash head. Are they better or worse than the old rectangle flash heads?

Usually, the psyche of people is used to seeing reflexes in the eyes of a round shape - the Sun. Therefore, round ones are more attractive. But you should choose according to the functionality, and not according to the shape of the lamp.
