One thing that I LOVE to do is take pictures. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for photography even as a child. I have had my share of different cameras and finally splurged on a DSLR camera last year and wished I would have took the leap sooner.
When my camera arrived I couldn’t wait to start using it. I will admit that I do use the auto feature often but I have bought some books and plan to learn how to use my camera in manual mode. Once I started using the camera, knew I wanted to try another lens besides the one that came with it. I take quite a big of pictures of food, but wanted a lens that would take better closeups. I got my lens and have been taking some great shots but I am always looking for a way to make my pictures look even better.
The past couple months I have been using a handy camera accessory called Lightscoop. This is an attachment that goes on my camera that helps take better pictures when you have to use your flash. If you are someone that takes a lot of pictures like me, you probably know that the flash on your camera has a big effect on how your picture is going to look like once it is developed. I happen to take quite a bit of indoor photos, so this little accessory has really came in handy.
Let me show you the difference…

You can see that the second picture looks quite different with the Lightscoop in use. I like to take pictures with and without the accessory to get a variety of shots.
With the Lightscoop attached, you are able to redirect your camera’s pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall which can cause a dramatic effect on a photo. With using flash, often you will find that your pictures have shadows, hot spots and most of all red eye. By using the Lightscoop, you can create soft pictures with natural light and can avoid some of those problems I just mentioned.

What makes this accessory even better is the price. The Lightscoop is only $29.95 with FREE Shipping! Buy yours at: https://www.lightscoop.com.

I need this! Hate using my flash but sometimes it’s inevitable.
I love this! This would be a great addition for me since our house is on the dark side and I often have to use flash.
I want to get more into photography, and eventually invest in a DSLR. This looks like a great accessory, as the second photo has a more natural look to it than the first.
That is awesome. I am starting to get more into photography, so I loved learning about this.
What a great product! I hate using the flash because everything looks so washed out, it looks like this product helps to keep the pictures from having too much exposure to the light! Awesome.
My hubby is a photographer! I will have to check into this more! Thank you for telling us about this!
I’ll definitely have to check this out! Thanks!
What a great little accessory!
I’ve actually been looking at that (it’s on my Amazon cart) so maybe I should get it after all.
I wish I had a nice camera to use this with. 🙂
OOOOH!! I need to order one of these!
Oh dang I really need something like that .I watched the video because i thought u did it but its not you 🙁
I love my lightscoop!
I have thought about purchasing this. I need something to help with my food photos.
What a great accessory. I need something for my DSLR, especially when I do restaurant reviews and need to get great photos of the various food courses.
That’s neat. I have to take all of my blog pictures outside because the lighting in our home is so bad.
We need one of these!!!
I just need a new camera. The attachment sounds great.
It makes more of a difference than I thought it would!
Glad you mentioned that the Lightscoop can help with red eye. Red eye shows up in a lot of my daughter’s photos. Makes me sick.
I have flash unit attachment for my dSLR but if I didn’t I’d be using a scoop!
I never, never use my flash.
What a difference the lightscoop made!
I need a new camera!
That’s cool! I need to buy this.
I need to get this. Thank you for the review!
