Gary Fong has a new gizmo for your flash. The Whale Tail, shown here, will fit on most strobes, provides adjustable directional light, and includes optional color balance, warming, and cooling filters. The device will be available in April on Gary Fong's web site for about $75.
Gary attracted big crowds at WPPI as he demoed the new Whale Tale. He is part showman, part photographer, and has quite the inventive streak. Most people seemed impressed with how the Whale Tale softened strobe light and reduced shadows.
If you get one once they're available, drop me a line with how you feel it performs, and I'll post a follow up.

It sure would be nice if there would be some comparison images on Gary's site. I'm sure they will come soon, but showing those, and how it works and you would use it, would be great.
I agree. I think Gary said that we will see lots more imformation within the next few weeks.
I AM DOIN A HUGE PROJECT ON THE GRAY WHALE AND I HAVE LEARNED LOTS AND LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRAY. IT IS VERY INTERISING HOW THE GRAY WHALE GETS ITS FOOD FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
