Rick Waller Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Several months ago, someone posted a sort of "cheat sheet" for using the Gary fong Lightsphere II. It was a useful compilation of settings etc. for certain types of shots. Gave suggested ISO's, apertures, direction of dome, with or without cap, etc. I can't seem to find it now. Anyone have it handy? It might have even been prepared by Gary Fong himself - just can't seem to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseay Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yes, those settings are for without the dome insert. At least, I used them before the insert had even been invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petra_s. Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thank you Jen, do they have a never version of those settings with the dome?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picturesque Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There is no need for a newer version of the recommended settings with the dome, because the settings change according to type of environment, and the dome does not change that. What the dome does is "absorb" the focus of the flash beam so in places with lower ceilings, you don't get the racoon eye effect. You use the LS without dome in larger spaces/higher ceilings and with the dome in medium/small places with lower ceilings--like up to 15 feet or so. At least, that is what I've found.
