it turns your camera into a sail boat so watch out

Did it break off the hotshoe or something?

Sorry, that was really funny!

I would suggest one of these, or something similar to make the light softer.

If you want to try it out, take some portrait shots.

I'd totally recommend a gary fong lightsphere II. I debated about getting it for quite some time because of the $40 price tag (bh photo video link up top). However... I got it as a Christmas gift and LOVE it. No, not for everything...but it is exceptional for rooms with low ceilings or rooms with walls nearby.

(people will say you can make your own...worth a try I suppose, I made one, but like the actual fong better)
