i have seem quite numbers of new photographer out there using
light sphere (
to produce results rivaling sophisticated studio-lighting setups at a fraction of the cost while being portable enough to carry around anywhere) during out door shooting at few concert event ( where i seen the photographer far from the object, surrounding lighting very dim)....but did they know that they arent any effect if they taking the picture by using mid or telephoto lens as the lighting areas limited and it were not suitable to take pic using it at any concert as when in a concert the surrounding area were dark and the light shpere were design to use for near object
from my experiment with my own light sphere, i find out that is very nice to use the light sphere when taking wedding photo out outdoors, taking macro shots and taking sample shots for food or gadgets reviews ...
