UPDATE — Giveaway Closed.
The winner was #302 Missy from Pure Femininity
I know I’ve said it before, but I really want to share some of my favorite things in my giveaways this year. And I’m so excited to tell you about another one of my favorite things — the Lightscoop.
I love my digital camera. And I am still learning all of the ins and outs of taking a great picture. One thing I have learned is natural light is a must for a good picture.
But what happens when something wonderful happens after the sun goes down??
You either have to use a very low shutter speed and hope for the best, find some sort of expensive studio lighting or use the dreaded flash!!
But I recently found a fabulous solution that I just had to share with you — the Lightscoop!!
It slides easily over your camera’s hot shoe and redirects your pop-up flash to a ceiling or wall.
Look at the difference:
Without Flash, With Flash, With Lightscoop!
All of these pictures were taken at night…
Can you see how much warmer and more natural the light is on the picture on the right?
The Lightscoop takes the light from your flash and redirects it up to a ceiling or wall, and redirects it back to the subject, creating a softer, more natural picture.
And it’s only $29.95!!
And…Lightscoop is giving away a standard Lightscoop to a Tatertots and Jello reader!!

I just barely got my first slr, and I was so excited to finally get one. But now that I have it, I am so intimidated by how complex it is. The lightscoop would definitely be something I would use to take better pictures!
Geez, this would be the cherry on top of my ice cream sundae (photography). I take so many pictures of my 1 and 2 year old and I HAVE to use my flash because they move so fast and most natural light pictures come out blurry…
I would love to win a Lightscoop, it would make a HUGE difference for my pictures!!! 
I love taking pictures of my son and this would definitely help me capture picture perfect memories!
I swear I have the world's worst home for indoor photography lighting! I have tried some "home remedies" to soften flash that I found online (tissue paper and the lid to my laundry detergent are two of the ingredients
) Unfortunately I didn't get the results I wanted. This would be amazing for me!
I would use this for my indoor shots. I have a terrible time getting the colors correct!
Lightscoop® redirects the harsh light AWAY from those baby blues

A Lightscoop would improve the quality of the pictures I take dramatically. I never have time to sit and edit the image in software, so having a good image from the get-go would be really beneficial to me.
