Topic: Reflection

Okay, this is a problem that I'm sure most people have or have had at one point.

Your reflection in windows/normal bricks (as you would expect, plastic is quite reflective)

Yes, of course, wear dark colors so light isn't bounced around improperly, and trying to angle sets in such a way can work (unless you require perpendicular shots to walls), but I still find that with even lighting and dark clothing, I can still see my reflection in even some darker gray brick walls. And thus, as I move ever so slightly between shots, it's almost as if I'm animating my reflection into the buildings (which is distracting).

Short of running out of the room, are there any other suggestions on how I can reduce this reflection?

Re: Reflection

Move your laptop into a "out-of-the-way" position. For example, I have a desk, so I put the laptop and myself in the area where your legs go.

Re: Reflection

1. What I do is I have my computer about two feet away from my set so when I go to take the picture.
2. Build a wall to stop reflection I do that sometimes.
3. Put your computer on the ground or lower than the table and take the picture
Hope this helps:)

Re: Reflection

Thanks for the replies...
though, the whole thing with moving the laptop isn't a problem as I use a separated camera

Building a wall would probably be the best option...

I have a desk, so I put the laptop and myself in the area where your legs go.

So do you move into that underneath the desk position for each frame?
