Lightscoop® is a smart low-tech device that creates soft, flattering light by
redirecting your camera’s pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall.
Don’t let your convenient little pop-up flash ruin your photos with evil red
eye, ugly shadows, hot spots, bleached out faces, underexposed colors, and
blurry movement that exist only in your photographs, not in the real world.
Slip a Lightscoop® on your camera and never miss out on another fabulous
picture! Lightscoop creates soft, natural light and lets you capture the scene
the way you see it.
How it Works
Simply slip the Lightscoop® over your SLR camera’s pop-up flash, follow
the easy camera set-up steps, and immediately transform the ugly direct light
from your tiny pop-up flash into pro-quality light. Professor Kobré’s Lightscoop®
lets you use professional photography techniques without having to buy or learn
to use expensive extra lighting equipment.
Redirecting the small light from your camera’s pop-up flash to the ceiling
creates a larger source of light that also comes from a natural direction
(rather than from the middle of your forehead). Softer, more diffused light
coming from a natural direction will instantly improve your photos. Turning the
camera vertically to direct the flash to a light-colored wall will create the
kind of directional “window” light that is the hallmark of an interesting
professional photograph. Plus, using the flash will stop blur from subject or
camera movement.
So many creative options! You’ll start to LOVE your pop-up flash — and your
friends will think you hired a pro!
[Note that the Lightscoop does not replace fully-featured and more powerful
tilting external flashes for advanced or professional photographers who need
them. That’s a whole other class of equipment.]
