There are several styles...the 'old school' ones are typically the ones where the flash is off to the side. The one I have, holds the flash directly above the camera in either portrait or landscape orientation. Having the flash above the camera helps to eliminate red eye and it casts people's shadows behind and below them.
If the flash is off to the side, the shadows will be cast off to the side...and when someone has a wall behind them it can make for some bad looking shadows.
OK, thanks makes a lot more sense. Somewhere I read that it was better to have it to the side, but ya...the whole shadow thing. THANKS MIKE!
