Shooting through glass

I've been a "serious" photographer for 64 years, with a primary interest in railroads and their structures. My wife and I almost always travel by train, and wind up shooting through the windows. To avoid the reflections that can spoil a good photo, I have used rubber lens hoods as well as darkroom cloth and gaffer's tape. Now I have discovered the "LenSkirt" which is a great tool for dealing with the problem. It's a black "box" with suction cups on the bottom and a drawstring on a flexible top. I have not attempted to research all the places to buy it; I got mine from Adorama.
I do enjoy reading the posts and look forward to learning more about photography from you generous folks.

Thanks MT Shooter! We lived in the foothills outside Bozeman in the early years of our marriage and delighted in the very welcoming folks we got to know there. Undoubtedly the most beautiful place we ever lived, with many great photo opportunities.

Good idea. Thanks for the tip. I'd like to see some of your train pics - trains more than scenery.

Question of the day.... How do you think that Lenskirt would work for shooting a hockey game. You could stay focused (back focused) around the net for the action. This might work, just want to hear from the masses before I sink $50.00 into something that might not work. Thanks for your reply's ahead of time. Anyone out there use this for shooting hockey games?

I bet a rubber lens hood would work in the meantime.

Jerry, I will be delighted to share some train images with you. I just need to select a few slides from the 15,000+ that I have in my files. I'll get to it as soon as I can!

The LenSkirt works exceptionally well capturing scenes from a fast moving train, so it should do the same for a hockey game. I'll be interested in feedback from anyone who uses one.

I just ordered one from Adorama and they sent me a notice they were out of stock so I have it on back order. I think B%H is the same way....Rich
