New toys and continual frustrations

I used some birthday money and bought a new toy the other day - a Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible Basic Kit. It was more money than I wanted to pay for a bit of plastic, but with the amount of indoor photography I've been doing it would help a bit. Today I used it for some outdoor photos. You can't do bounce flash when outside no matter how shinny the leaves are. I still need more practice and I'm not 100% sold on using the amber done - at least not with auto white balance. The biggest trouble I have is trying to fit the domes into the "lightsphere" cone thingy. I have not figured out a way to do it in under 10 minutes so far. I'm sure that there is a trick, I just don't know it yet.
