Again The angle of Incidence = the angle of reflectance. Simply Postion your subject 45 degrees to the light source and that glare will diminsh. Yes a circular pol; will help but may add more contrast and a longer exposure. which can compensated for by raising the ISO. It may also help to set your light balance to partial sun or overcast rather than using the auto setting. Play around and make notations as to what you have tried,. Also try bracketing your exposure say 1 & 1/2 stops either way. The digital format allows instant gratficating for viewing images that you have taken .When you hit upon that works excellent. DOCUMENT IT FOR REFERANCE LATER!
All of the above responses to your post are well given.and have grat merit. Remember as a student you are your own best teacher. Come now I want to some images indicating that you nailed your photogarphs spot on! I know you can do it!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I did pictures of some of my students and one of which wears glasses. I tilted her glasses and there was no glare or much of a reflection. Very very pleased with the picture. :) Thanks everyone for the advice. As for my son, I tried the tilt technique and the circular polar lens, the tilt technique doesn't work well with kids, they move too much. The circular polar lens helped with the glare but didn't do much for the reflections. I would pop out his lens in his glasses but I'm afraid I will break them in the process. It's a work in progress...

Hi, as a hobby I love to take pictures. My oldest usually runs from me when I grab a camera but today he let me do his birthday pictures. Normally, he doesn't wear glasses, but for his harry potter costume, of course, you can't be Harry without them. Well, when I got them on my computer I noticed the glare in his glasses making it hard to see his eyes. Suggestions to fix them will be greatly greatly appreciated. Thanks!


If I may suggest, If you have a dslar with a external flash shoe mount, look for a flash and get a Gary Fong light sphere. that mounts directly on the flash. ( google gary fong). Here is an example of shot with the light sphere. Real simple, plus you can use this lighting for a 100 others ideas, especially as a flash fill with day light. Other then that Photoshop to the rescue. Need any more help feel free to ask

You can buy a spray that does the trick from a Professional Photo store but its a pain in the butt to remove it. The suggestion to remove the glass is what most top quality studios do with glasses and watch glasses.
