The Gary Fong Lightsphere is Freakin' Awesome
At the moment of my uploading this photo, I am currently doing a field review of the Gary Fong Lightsphere.
This photo was taken at Ninja New York with my good lads Alex Kip and Avi Goldstein: both actors.
Taken with my Canon 5D Mk II and 85mm F1.8. Look how great they look.
Expect more updates to come.
