Do you guys know where to get a "fake" G.F. lightsphere in HK?

I only saw fake Omnibounce at Ap Lui Street

The thing is my photographer partner swears by them... I've got a fake omnibounce myself from Mongkok but I don't think it's large enough to get rid of the shadows and I didn't see a fake lightsphere there.

Power I don't have to worry too much about. I've got a battery pack when I go out on assignment so 3 packs of 4 AA NiMH does me for a long time.

The problem with LS is that it looks so stupid...milk jug on your flash!  

It's only for amatures...

I don't really care if the LS is pink (well, I do), but as long as it takes nice shots...  coz some places (like churches) have super high ceilings or dark ceilings which is useless for bouncing...

ST, you go Ap Liu ..  u can find tons of diff type of diffusor . ( dont expect good quality )

Stick a white card on your flash light . is still the best way!

hehe..u need external battery to make it works well for sure =P  My quantum 2x2 allows me to use the flash with little to no wait time.

However, it does require some skills and experience to take full advantage of it.

But you know, SmellyTofu, even at $15 or $20, I feel like it is a completely useless piece of crap. It is minimally useful, being able to dispers ...
