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?

Such a small difference between the two on camera should not be a deciding factor.

Flashes are fickle things so make sure you get one with a good manufacturers warranty, I buy the flashpoint units instead of the identical godox units just to get the warranty from flashpoint.
