LightScoop

Several months ago, a fellow blogger and friend, Jennifer, recommended an alternative to an external flash for my camera called a LightScoop.  The timing of when I got it was bad, and I never really learned how to use it.  To use it meant to actually learn to put my camera in manual mode!  I’ve relied on automatic modes since I got my camera a couple of years ago!  So, about two months ago I finally sat down and learned to use it .  I’m so glad that I did! 

The purpose is to redirect the light from the camera’s pop up flash and create a better lit photo.  It does what external flashes do at a fraction of the cost.  In fact, I got it off amazon.com for next to nothing!  It slips on over the pop-up flash.  This is only for indoor photography since it relies on walls and ceilings to bounce the light off of.
