The Lite-Scoop softens and spreads the light, eliminating ugly, harsh shadows and directing the light from above--better for photos of people. It virtually eliminates "red-eye" and enhances skin tones. The Lite-Scoop attaches quickly and easily to a shoe-mount flash and can be simply changed when you move from horizontal to vertical orientation and back. The shape of the reflector makes it possible to cover even your widest wide-angle lenses. It's effective indoors or out, with a loss of light from the flash of 2/3 of a stop.
