I have been meaning to post a review on the amazing Lightscoop awhile back but never had the time... Well, I had to use it tonight and I remembered how useful it really is!
I found out about the Lightscoop via Photojojo, but decided to Google around a bit and found the direct website which stocks them (cheaper ;-)).

I shall not write too much about what Lightscoop does as you can find all that out on their website but I just thought I'd rave about it as it is one of my favourite devices :-)
