Subjects who wear eye glasses can offer a unique difficulty for photographers. First, there’s the dilemma of whether they should wear them or not (will they not feel & look like themselves without them? Are they hiding fabulous eyes behind those glasses?) And then there’s the problem of glare and reflection. An attentive photographer will pay attention to this factor, but it does cause issues and where a photo might be perfectly composed and lit, but a little glare in the glasses can throw the whole thing off.
All those tips for creating great catchlights? Forget ‘em. Reflectors aimed at the eyes, facing a light source…all these techniques will only show up as mirror-like reflections in the glass.
When using artificial or studio lighting, have your subject turn away from the lights just a tad and pay attention to what’s going on in the glasses.
As if pop-up flash wasn’t already a no-no, it’s even more so when your subject is wearing glasses
A rather strange suggestion is to have your subjects tilt the glasses downward only 1/2 an inch (just push them up from where they rest on their ears). This tiny bit of angle and make a huge difference. In the same manner, you can also experiment with having them tilt their head or the angle from which you’re shooting.
Reflections on water or on a building always fascinated me, therefore I was lucky to pass by this building at this moment when no cars no rain no etc..
I found this relfection while walking through Wurzburg, Germany today.. I tried to line up the reflection as good as possible with the building next to it so that they looked like they were the same building... I think it turned out ok?

This image was taken at the same day when I went to capture some images of skywalk, just accidentally I found this place when I went outside for a fresh air. Sunny bright day as you see which created nice shadows and reflection...
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 16-35 EF f/2.8L USM II.
Handheld three exposures processed in photomatix Pro, B&W effect Added in Silver Efex Pro 2, noise reduced in Topaz DeNoise and completed work as always in Photoshop CS5.
Photographed this White-faced Ibis reflection at Willow Lake Reservoir in Beautiful Prescott, Arizona. It was the same day I photographed the two Northern Solvers with their heads cocked the same direction I’m sure many have seen that shot) - everyone loved the image and it's in the set called 3 hour photo shoot.
I was actually in my bird blind when the entire flocked of White-faced Ibis’es landed 100 yards from me and to my luck (which is pretty good most of the time) they started walking towards the blind at the water’s edge but then stopped about 80 yards out as they heard the big shutter on my 600 mm F/4 APO. So they back off and started walking away from me but still not spooked to the point of them taking flight.- At this time I was able to take 30-40 images of them concentrating on the ones that were feeding at the water’s edge as that’s where the reflections were best.
All made possible because of apochromatic lens – you simply cannot achieve a long range shot (especially in Arizona with all its heat wave) with detail without top quality glass –do you think is coming from my Sony A700 –well that’s 20% of the battle, the lens 50% of the battle and the balance to knowing how to use those big long lenses – don’t ever think for a second you can spend $13,000 on a lens and “presto I’m a nature photographer” – you must me schooled with such a combination of high-tech equipment – that’s where I come in.
