Lightscoop
Are you loving all of these giveaways??

I have another one for those of you who have (or know someone who has) a Digital SLR camera: a Lightscoop!

I am very new to the Digital SLR Camera world, but in my opinion a Lightscoop is a must-have for anyone with a dSLR.  Here is a little bit of info about the Lightscoop:

Lightscoop is an inexpensive (around $35), clever attachment that transforms the awful light from your pop-up flash into pro-quality light. By redirecting the light from the pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall, Lightscoop creates a broad, natural light that eliminates unattractive shadows and red-eye, minimizes reflections off shiny surfaces, and also lights a group of people evenly, so those farthest from the camera are not lost in darkness. The result is soft, flattering, natural light — and photos that capture a scene the way you see it.

You get pro-quality light with a lightweight, inexpensive, easy to use device.

You can see several before and after photos on their website and I can assure you, the pictures are not exaggerated! I decided to take a few pictures this evening with (and without) the Lightscoop on one of my favorite things to take pictures of…. GROCERIES! :)

Let’s see if you can see the difference in the pictures:

The first picture is with a normal flash setting. grocerieswithnormalflash-2
The second picture is with the lowest flash setting. grocerieswithlowestflash-2
The third picture is with the Lightscoop! grocerieswithlightscoop-2

Do you see the difference? Of course!! The WHOLE ROOM lights up when you use the Lightscoop! I was seriously blown away!  And at $25 – $35 it’s the perfect price for a gift this Christmas, which is why I featured it in my Gifts For Anyone category in the Holiday Gift Guide.

You can find Lightscoop at their website, on Twitter and on Facebook. You can also order it off Amazon (with FREE shipping!)

    I hate how my pictures look with the pop up flash. This looks like it would solve all my lighting problems!

  7. Amber says:

    Don’t enter me in the giveaway ;) , but I just wanted to comment.

    This little device really truly is amazing for photographers who don’t want to (or can’t) buy a ton of lighting equipment or camera classes but want to take pictures in low light (read: inside) and not have them look like everyone in the picture is a zombie (thank you, direct flash). Rachel (and their website) don’t exaggerate! Though I personally wouldn’t call it “pro-level lighting,” it’s amazing what this tiny piece of plastic-mounted mirror can do! It’s certainly worth the $35 and it’s so cool you have one to give away!
