THE RETURN OF THE GARY FONG!

Taking some pics at a family wedding last week I was able to break out
my trusty Gary Fong flash diffuser. Check out these two pics taken a
fraction of a second apart.

In the first pic another person's flash fired at the exact moment as
my shutter tripped, causing a severely overexposed shot which I was
able to rescue thanks to shooting in RAW mode.
Some of the highlights are still blown, reminding one of what they'd
get had they hired a low-budget photographer from Queensland.

The second pic was illuminated by my 580EX bounced with my Gary Fong
diffuser. Note the more even lighting and the lack of harsh shadows.
Even the pro hired to shoot the wedding told me later that she wished
she had a Gary Fong.

If you also suffer from Gary Fong envy you can be cured he

Ok. Had a look at the site you are spammimg. If anything it would make
me take a contract out on Gary Fong on behalf of photographers
everywhere. The first 'with flash' example shot is a bit harsh, but the
with Lighsphere shot looks like someone who has owned Photoshop for all
of ten minutes has discovered the filters menu and gone crazy. I could
get a better result with a cardboard disposable camera lit with a pocket
torch. I didn't know they made blur filters so intense.

Don't worry Lil' Darlin' my Gary Fong envy was cured instantly.

Thank you for taking the time to do that, and thank you for caring.
