Welcome to the Weekend Wrap Up Party!!
This week’s giveaway is one of my favorite camera accessories – a Lightscoop Deluxe!
We’ve all been there – we’re trying to take the perfect picture of one of our kids, a craft project, or even the family dog and you just can’t get the lighting to come out right. Natural lighting is such an important part of photography, and Lightscoop makes it much easier to achieve.
Lightscoop redistributes light in your photos to create a healthy glow around whatever you’re taking a picture of, regardless of the room’s lighting.
This week I’m giving away a Lightscoop Deluxe – find out how to win and link up your projects after the break:
A few years ago, I discovered the original Lightscoop, and I was so happy I did!
As I said back then,
natural light is a must for a good picture, but a flash is a disaster for good photography!
Here’s my example from back then:
See how Lightscoop redistributes the flash to create a natural, even glow around the subject? I love it!
With the Lightscoop Deluxe you can also buy different mirror colors to create different types of glow in your pictures.
I like the new Lightscoop Deluxe, even more than my original Lightscoop — and here’s why: I can tilt the mirror to work even when I take a vertical picture. When I turn the camera on its side, I can tilt the Lightscoop Deluxe to bounce the flash off the ceiling, or wherever I want. (The original Lightscoop remains fixed in place.)
I love my Lightscoop – it makes lighting so much easier to figure out and helps me create the even lighting you can see in my pictures taken at night or indoors.
Here’s how to win the Lightscoop Deluxe:
Don’t forget to link up your projects — I’ve got two Great Ideas posts coming this weekend from your projects!!

I would use the ceiling bounce to take even more pics of my kids.
Janet @ I HEART My Glue Gun says
I’d use the lightscoop for my snapping up pics of my kiddos!
Jo Skidmore says
I could use a light scoop to photograph my black dogs. They usually have glowing eyes or you can’t see them at all!
Rachel White says
I would use it for pictures of my babies – who are easier to corral inside!
Christine says
This would be great inside the house….the kitties are always doing something cute and the photos don’t always come out well 🙁
Tanya says
Thank you so much for hosting Jen, Happy Easter!!
xo, Tanya
Wendy N says
I take a lot of pictures indoors with out long winter months in SD! I would love to use this taking pictures of what my family and dogs are doing inside the house, or possibly the occasional fish shack pictures!!
Sarah McKenna says
I would use it for nighttime family activity pics, but more often for craft photos at night!

My photos on my blog are just sad. I bought a nice camera, but I just can’t get the lighting right on them. The lightscoop looks like it might help!

Christie - Food Done Light says
Thanks for hosting. Great giveaway. As a novice photographer, I am having a hard time figuring out lighting especially when it comes to food pictures for my blog. I think the Lightscoop could help! Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter.
chocolateandmore says
I need one of those Lightscopes, what a brilliant idea! Would definitely free up where I take photos and I wouldn’t have to hope the sun was out just for good lighting.
Angel Skelton says
What a great idea! I love the idea of switching out the colored mirrors!
Kristy Lifenreflection says
This looks like a great tool!

I’d like a Lightscoop to improve the photos of big things, like large DIY projects, in my dark house. No matter how many lights we have on, the photos still seem dingy!

I’ve wanted one of these for the longest time! I would use it to take photos indoors in the evening when there is no natural light. My indoor photos always have a yellowish tint and/or harsh shadows because I have to use the camera flash. Indoor photos would be soooo much better if I had a Lightscoop!
Christy@Confessions of a Serial DIYer says

Nicole says
I’d probably use this most when taking pictures of my children and projects inside my home. It always seems like when you think about taking that picture it’s either dark or just dreary do there’s no good lighting!
