Professor Ken Kobré's Lightscoop®
Say goodby to ugly flash photos!
From Lightscoop, and now available through photosolve
---
| OVERVIEW
Professor Ken Kobré's Lightscoop® 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! |
| Comparison photos: To the right are comparisons of the standard pop-up flash, a dedicated flash, and the same pop-up flash using a standard lightscoop and a warming lightscoop...you be the judge!
The basic difference between the standard and warming Lightscoop units is in the color of the mirror installed on the Lightscoop. The Standard model uses a silver mirror and the Warming model uses a gold mirror, which will give a "warmer" tone to skin tones and is often used to help soften "people" shots. |

| Camera Models Supported NOTE: If your camera does not have interchangeable lenses, its pop-up flash is not powerful enough to send light to the ceiling and back and still properly expose a picture. Sorry... it's not our fault! Blame it on physics! Find your camera below and order the appropriate model: UNIVERSAL MODEL Canon 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, Rebel XTi, XSi, 400, 450, XT, XTi, T1i, XS, 350D, 500D, 550D, 1000D. NOTE: Canon has changed the hotshoe design on the T2i and 7D. They will NOT function with the Lightscoop. We are working on a fix. Fuji FinePix Pro Series Nikon Olympus Pentax Sigma SD14 Series |
|
| Don’t see your 35mm SLR here? We have not assured its compatibility. However, we have found the Lightscoop to fit new models of these brands' SLR line when we’ve tested them as they’ve appeared. We do have a 2-week return policy if you'd like to try the Lightscoop with your camera and return it if it doesn’t work out. | |
| [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.] | |
| Note: photosolve has been shipping the Lightscoop for Professor Kobre since it was first introduced. Now, through special agreement, photosolve is able to ship directly as well. | |
