Although the lightsphere was only developed a few years ago, it is a simple device that has made significant contributions to the world of photography. A lightsphere is used to more evenly spread out light in indoor or outdoor settings. Lightspheres are durable and made of plastic. These devices are becoming especially popular among studio and event photographers.
Instructions
1. Place the lightsphere on top of the flash on the camera. The lightsphere should fit snugly, therefore it may take a couple of seconds to get it into place. You can place the lightsphere on the flash before or after the flash is connected to the camera, although it may be easier to do it before.
2. Tilt the flash and lightsphere to a 45-degree angle forward when taking pictures indoors. Set the ISO setting on the camera between 400 and 800 and set the aperture of the camera between 1/30 second and 1/60 second.
3. Move the lightsphere straight up when taking wedding photos in a room that has a tall ceiling. The ISO setting should be between 400 and 800 and the aperture again should be set between 1/30 and 1/60. The settings in a room with a regular ceiling would be the same, except the lightsphere would be moved forward at a 45-degree angle.
4. Keep the lightsphere straight up when taking group photos inside of a church. Again, the ISO should be set between 400 and 800 and the aperture should be set between 1/30 and 1/60.
5. Move the lightsphere straight forward when taking photos outdoors in the bright sun. Put the ISO on the camera on the "P" setting. The ISO should be between 80 and 100.
6. Move the lightsphere forward at a 45-degree angle when taking photos outdoors in the shade. Keep the camera set on "P" and set the ISO between 80 and 400.
