If you have seen me photographing events or weddings you have usually seen my flash sporting a Gary Fong Lightsphere. It looks like Tupperware. Well, when I bought my new Canon camera the I also bought a Canon 580ex II flash – and my old Lightsphere wouldn’t fit. So I bought the new Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible. It is made of a soft vinyl and can collapse. More importantly it can attach to either speedlight – they have redesigned the Lightsphere so it is a one size fits all. It is a bit of a pain to put on and off of the 580ex II but it is much easier to attach to the Nikon SB-800.
This photograph shows the collapsible Lightsphere attached to an SB-800 atop my Nikon D90. This photo is cool because the only thing in focus is the Lightsphere itself – I was using my new Canon 50mm f/1.2. You can see how shallow that depth of field is! It is so cool!
