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.

the colors and reflections in this water caught my eye, like an abstact picture.

I took some photos in my hometown of Manchester on the evening of May 8, 2013 after returning from the Brooklyn Big Boy cruise-in. It was a beautiful springtime evening under a gorgeous sky. Reflections

in the River Raisin were beautiful, with the water tower rising in the background.

Caught just as the droplet hit the water.

It has passed 1 year since I got my 1st DSLR - and now I use film camera...... Yes, I found the photography is so addictive for me within a year.

デジタル一眼を手に入れて写真の世界に目覚めてから一年が経ちました。気がついたらフィルムカメラを振り回している自分が信じられません。見事にどっぶりです。

PCA17: Assignment: Reflections.

Deadline Feb 17

flickr.com/groups/473537@N20/discuss/72157603885461015/

WIT: Well, Waited to the last minute as usual. Actually, I usually have only one day to shoot and thats today -Sunday. I'm sort of perfecting a plan to shoot. I drop my son off at baseball at 7am and then have 1hour to shoot and get back in time to pick him up.

I drove to Boston to get this one. On the highway (rt93) I could see the Hancock building reflecting nicely in the early morning sun. I had to find this building and I did. I think I got some good backup ones too for this assignment.

At first I ran through 2 exposures in photomatix to make and HDR from which I got a tiff tonemapped file. Then, I decided not to use it. I did layer this tiff file over one raw file and set the mode to luminance. Then, I just used Niks skylight filter to warm it up just slightly.

Just a fun shot of reflections on the upper pond in the back yard. The color is a reflection of a colored wind mill.

I really liked the way the lights and everything reflected in this. I found this in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Palais des Congrès Liège.

reflection or illusion? this image was captured in front window of a restaurant at Lake Como, Italy where they placed 2 orchids. It gave an interesting reflection of windows from the bldg across. However, the beautiful orchids were still the point of interest in front of the couch in the image.
