AmberDome

$24.99

As a professional photographer, I've always have been trying to make my "flash" equipment
undetectable. Using the Lightsphere I've made on-camera flash look like a huge, soft lightsource similar to a studio softbox. But then the light was daylight balanced, so putting on the Amberdome warms the light up and helps it to blend!

This accessory dome is for the LIGHTSPHERE CLOUD ONLY. It is not recommended for use on the CLEAR model because the CLEAR model shows too much of the amber color. The CLOUD spreads it evenly throughout the soft white opaque color and creates a perfect color balance.

INTRODUCING THE AMBERDOME™ FOR THE LIGHTSPHERE® CLOUD!
INSTANTLY WARM UP YOUR IMAGES IN COOL SITUATIONS (for CLOUD only - will not fit previous models of Lightsphere. WILL NOT FIT THE ORIGINAL LIGHTSPHERE.)
Pictured to the left is the new Amberdome Lid for the Lightsphere® II CLOUD. There were many users who requested a warming filter for the light. So we made it after extensive testing, and it does a great job of warming your light in the following situations:
Outdoors at dusk or early morning
Outdoors in Open Shade (set camera to auto-white balance)
Interiors with tungsten lighting (set camera WB to "tungsten" setting)
Shooting sunsets with the sun at your subject's back.



What is so neat about the ability to "swap tops" is it is so fast to switch. Rather than switching the whole Lightsphere, or having to custom white balance your camera, if you want warm lighting, just put the top on and you're good to go!
Here's a great example: With most digital cameras (Especially if you are a Canon or Nikon shooter), you'll notice that in open shade your images are way too cool. But put on this dome (technically it's known as a 1/4 C.T.O filter) and your images will look much more pleasing!
YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IMMEDIATELY RIGHT ON YOUR LCD SCREEN
If you love your Lightsphere® CLOUD, you'll love it even more with the ability to instantly warm your light output!!!

ChromeDome

$59.99

Gary Fong ChromeDome

	The ChromeDome™ Increases light output dramatically while still keeping the diffusion properties. You will have up to double the power and efficiency, but the look will be identical. The ChromeDome™ was made for the Lightsphere-Universal and Lightsphere-2 Cloud Model only - it does not work effectively with the clear model. The ChromeDome™ does NOT fit on previous versions of the Lightsphere, Including the Original Lightsphere.

There is an open top to allow clear light to hit the ceiling. A chrome-plated kicker panel blows light forward, while the inverted bowl blasts more light into the bowl, brightening the bowl.
Check out this video demonstration which shows how the unit works, and images taken with/without the Chromedome! This text will be replaced

Origami - Fold Flat Diffuser

$34.99

THE INCREDIBLE GARY FONG ORIGAMI DIFFUSER!!!

SOFT, PORTABLE, FLATTERING DIFFUSION COMES WITH TWO BOUNCE DIFFUSION PANELS, ONE IN AMBER, AND ONE IN OPAQUE WHITE FOR THE MOST CREATIVE OPTIONS.

The new Origami™ diffuser is in response to many users who demanded the perfect combination of portability, professional creativity and versatility in one fold-flat, compact unit.

Here's some unretouched comparison images showing direct flash, bounce flash, and the Origami diffuser:

Utilizing the same diffusion panels as the critically acclaimed Gary Fong "WhaleTail" Reporter, you get one amber flap, one opaque flap for neutral or "warming" diffusion lighting. It also comes with the new "Kung-Fu" grip system that is so strong that it will suspend the entire weight of the camera and flash unit without falling off!

...and Many More!! The Puffer is not compatible with Sony and Konica/Minolta brand cameras.

If you use your pop-up flash with a wide angle lens and shade, you've probably seen a really weird half-circle dark shadow at the bottom of your image. That's the shadow from your lens shade. When you put on the Puffer diffuser, the shadow is nearly eliminated:


For only $24.99, you'll get much more professional-looking flash images.
