Thats awesome Andy.:thumb:thumb So you like the lightsphere? I've been wanting to get one, but Fong's statement of not being responsible for anything that you have to agree to before ordering makes me nervous.:uhoh

Let me know if you ever want to sell yours.:wink

Again, excellent shot.:clap

I'd hurry up and order this. I'm forwarding this information to my wedding photographer friend in New Jersey!

Oh, and beautiful butterfly and flower BTW...

you're kidding, right??? omigosh it's only a bit of plastic, it fits right on your flash, like a glove - no moving parts, nothing could possible go wrong... i never even saw the statement on his website... anyhow don't let that turn you off, it's really quite simple! cheers and thanks.

That is a lovely shot Andy, the light is very nicely distributed using the lightsphere isn't it......that is a beautiful shot Andy.

Tell me something is my understanding of the lightsphere correct.......the lightsphere when connected to your flash allows you to turn your camera to Portrait and even though the flash is now on it's side the lightsphere still delivers the light reguardless of the angle of the flash ???? :huh

Again.......lovely shot Andy, thanks for sharing....... Skippy (Australia)

No when in portrait, flip the flash, so the lightsphere faces up, and the side of the flash is towards your subject.

XO,

Andy,

Did you have the dome on the Lightsphere and was it on with the flash pointing up or facing the subject?

Just curious as I love this lighting and I've been looking for a better way to light macro outside. I tried an elaborate reflector and it's a bit combersome. I've got the LSII and I love it.
