I am so excited to share this giveaway with you!
I am by no means a camera expert. I love to take photos – and I’m slowly learning what makes a nice shot.
One of those things is Natural light.
It makes such a huge difference – so much that I stopped taking pictures in the evenings – especially for tutorials.
The flash washes out the color and creates such harsh shadows!
But now I’ve found this great tool – and I am so excited about it.
It is called the Lightscoop.
Have you heard of it?
It’s this little mirrored reflector that sits over your SLR’s existing Flash.
The Lightscoop reflects the light from your flash to reduce the harsh shadows and make the lighting much more natural.
Here – they have a handy dandy illustration that shows you.
See? The light bounces off the ceiling or wall and creates a more natural looking light – like daytime!
Let me show you some examples of why I love this so much.
To show you how cool this little gadget is – I took all these at night. No natural light anywhere.
They’re also completely unedited – the photos are straight out of the camera.
I have complained before about how hard it is to take photos in my living room. There are NO windows. So even in the daytime – photos are dark and fuzzy.
Check out this grouping. You can see how bright and obnoxious the flash photo is – and the shadows are so bad that you can’t even tell there’s a bird in the birdcage.
Withthe Lightscoop though – the last photo looks like I took it midday.
Same goes with photos for tutorials or my Etsy shop. Before, they all had to be during the day.
This set I took outside – full dark. I bounced the flash off the side of the house.
You can see without a flash at all I couldn’t get a clear picture.
It’s still amazing to me how much the last picture looks like natural light!
This also works great for animals. I’d like to introduce you to Xray.
I have absolutely no idea why he graced me with this little photo shoot – especially when I took the “flash” photos.
With the Lightscoop his coloring is right and his eyes don’t have glares or weird flares.
Oh. He’s so cute. Especially since he isn’t destroying the roll of toilet paper.
One of my favorite uses is for shots of people. Here’s my pretty girl to show you.
This corner of the room is so dark that I couldn’t get a “Without Flash” shot that was anywhere near decent.
And the flash is crazy bright. You can hardly see her features.
But the Lightscoop shot looks so natural! Love that smile. ;)
The amazing thing is that this is so easy!
All you have to do is pop the Lightscoop on your camera and follow the guidelines they provide for setting it up.
I have played with it quite a bit to learn which settings work for the lighting that I’m in – but that’s been so fun.
It’s nice to get my camera off of Auto!
Amazingly enough – the Lightscoop is only $29.95!!!
Such a reasonable price for a HUGE difference.

I would love to use Lightscoop with my family pictures especially for holidays! I don’t get to see my family often, so this would be a special treat to be able to see them more clearly—without the shadows, etc…..that using a flash or not using a flash [without a lightscoop!] produces! Thank you for the giveaway!
Kim B says
I could really use this! Our house has poor natural lighting so we always have to use the flash when taking photos inside (and we have 2 beautiful kids and another on the way who do incredibly adorable things we want to capture). But with the flash, we always have really harsh shadows and washed out coloring. This little device would REALLY help us out!!! I’m crossing my fingers tight to win this :)

Well honestly I found this via stumbleupon but I immediately subscribed to RSS. I am really impressed with your description and would love to have this – it’s bad enough we live in a cave of an apartment where most houseplants die :( but taking photos here is quite a process of manually adjusting both camera settings and lighting — and even then not getting the shot I would really like to have. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

I was recently having a discussion about Lightscoop with my husband and he told me that it would not work for our camera but now I see that it definitely would. I would love to win one of these. I can’t stand the way the flash on my camera makes my photos look. Thanks so much for the chance.

I want to use Lightscoop to capture the best pictures possible of my 2 growing little boys, because I think we are done having children and I know I will miss them being this young. (my boys are 2 years old, and 3 months.)

Never heard of this but WOW, amazing difference in the lighting. Colors look more true and everything seems to stand out like it’s 3D. Would be great for wildlife, grandkids and just starting a new craft biz and could take great distinct pix of the items.

I would use it for indoor, everyday photos. They will look so much better than a flash!
Erin @ Crafts & Sutch says
I’ve been wanting one for quite some time! My living room has lots of windows, but never gets great light. I always have to use the flash when I take pics of my little guy so this would be so handy!
Weezie says
I wants it! Honestly, I’ll most likely buy one if I don’t win, but who wouldn’t rather get one for free? :)
I’d use to take pictures of food for my blog.
Holly L says
Me, me, me….I need help…oh my photos! I have seen this before and it looks amazing! I desperately need it for all the photos for my blog. My house has awful – beyond awful light and the flash is too much, but w/o ick.

I have been a reading your blog for a while now and just became a follower. I LOVE your site and it’s one of my “favorites” on my computer. I also checked out the lightscoop site – you must of read my mind because I was wanting to have a better look in my photos. I just started a blog and I noticed that my pictures looked kind of raw – not in a good way. Most importantly, I would love to use this to take pictures of my adventures in my new city, my 3 little monkeys I chase around, and my blog that I am crazy enough to start up. The price is a score too! so impressed! Thanks for sharing!!
Brenda Burgdorf says
Wonderful product. I could definitely use this in many ways. Taking photo’s of my Cakes for one. Light really washes them out and prevents a good photo. I also make jewelry and craft work that the photo’s just do not always do well.
I have started playing around as well with personal photography. When outside and at the park if using a tree sometimes there are shadows that this would definitely take care of.
Thank you so much for letting us know about this wonderful piece of equipment.

Lindsey Trueman says
I would use the Light Scoop for taking more adorable shots of my little nephew -this looks like it would make such a difference in the photo quality!
Andrea says
Oh wow….this looks like the answer to most of my photo problems! I have a great camera – Nikon D80 – but in our house the main living areas are east facing & even thought we have lots of windows, we have big trees & lighting inside stinks. Plus we have yellow walls & tall ceilings …that = overly warm toned, bad lighting in all my indoor shots! My nephew is also getting married in September & i know whenever I’ve taken photos inside a church they come out much like shots inside my house – overly warm & blurred due to lighting. I would LOVE to win a Light Scoop – Ooooooh! Fingers crossed!
I went to their website & was SO impressed – as I was of your pictures with & without it!

I’d love a lightscoop because I hate using the flash but most of our special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) are in the fall so we’re always inside and I’m forced to use a flash. A lightscoop would be amazing!!
