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

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.
