I posted briefly about the Lightscoop just a few days ago and today I received a review unit from them to test out and I am just floored by the quality of light I am getting off of this relatively cheap camera flash accessory.

I am planning a full review of the Lightscoop real soon, but for now, just look at the difference that this $35 add-on does for an SLR’s on-camera flash. It’s incredible! The top photo was taken WITH the Lightscoop and the photo below is taken with direct on-camera flash.

Stay tuned for the full review soon.

Bounce a pop-up flash with Lightscoop

October 28, 2009 @ 8:04 pm

I was just introduced to Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop, a clever little attachment for digital SLRs that bounces the light from the on-camera flash upward so that photos you take with the flash don’t look all blown out. [via]

Most on-camera flashes these days are pretty decent and are actually quite powerful if tweaked correctly, and I imagine that this $35 add-on does wonders at a fraction of the price of an actual hot-shoe flash attachment.

Most of the images in the Flickr Lightscoop photo pool are pretty much on par with the quality of images I would expect from a much more expensive flash attachment.

Milwaukee Bruiser bike that reflects and glows

Prolly posted some photos of people’s Milwaukee Bruiser bicycles and the one shown here with an entire frame that reflects and glows under the right lighting conditions makes me want to do the exact same thing to my future bike frame (I wouldn’t do this on my current frame).

I just wish Beacon Graphics made reflective vinyl tape that was blue like this.

When should a website have a flash intro?

The answer? NEVER.

I’m finding Flash increasingly useless and prohibiting when it comes to getting a good user-experience out of the web. I understand that Flash has been around long enough to make it nearly impossible to eradicate overnight, but for the love of God, please stop making entire websites out of Flash. Ads, banners, and simple animations are fine, but not the whole website. PLEASE.

Seriously, look at the amount of cameras. This isn’t even in the U.S.
