Has a specific purpose really, so as long as you use if for that, it works great. Very simple product/idea.

This Amberdome is a must for any type of portrait photography. Skin tones are just so perfect in the photos. Well worth the money. I would buy again.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

Perfect for portraits outside. I want to try some other subjects with it too. This is a great addition to my Gary Fong Cloud. I should have bought this a lot sooner.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

IF you use the lightsphereII use must use this also..Gives great lighting and warmth, when used correctly.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

This diffuser is a little better than the one comes with SC800. I wish it came with more instructions about how to mount domes for different situations.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

I use it with both the Universal Cloud Lightsphere and the Collapsible Lightsphere - and it works as advertised. Warms the light just enough.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

Works like it was supposed to. The bride and groom didn't look like big dressed up carrots so no complaints.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

Bought this after watching a demo by Fong. Used it at a wedding with flash in shade, hoping to warm fleshtones, and found it to be too yellow. Made my fair bride look a little jaundiced, so I went back to the standard dome.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

The amberdome is meant for only the cloud diffuser and does a great job at blending the light of your flash with the ambient light to the point where your flash becomes invisible. Faster f-stops are a necesity for it to work correctly (f/1.4-f/4). Works great. You can even use it outside during the day to warm up your portraiture.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

A great accessory for my lightsphere II. The AmberDome provides a natural warm glow to the subject without being obvious about it.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

This amber dome gives you wonderful warm tones in all situations. Be careful with low ceilings as it will cause the amber to become too "orange" depending on the subject and ambient lighting.

I've used it outdoors doing expectant mother photos in a large garden / park and indoors at a small informal wedding and had great results with both situations and everything in between.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

This is an awesome accessory to the Lightsphere. It really warms up the light and is perfect for sunset portraits - instead of throwing a blue light at someone. It costs too much - but it works great!

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

Huge difference when using the amber dome indoors. It really does warm up dimly lighted areas and it shows in the photos.

The main thing is to set your camera's white balance to tungsten or 3200K temp and you'll see the difference in your photos.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

Outdoor shooting. Great for when the sun is going down and natural light is not enough to bring a subject out.

Comments about Gary Fong AmberDome:

I guess you could call it a pricey piece of plastic, but it works great indoors in super warm rooms. It changes the color of your flash making heavy flash shots look nicer.
