Simple one... how to I stop this?

Taking good pictures on a sunny day is easy.

Taking pictures on a sunny day with an 800ft mirror reflecting the sun back at you isn't quite so easy.

So in a nutshell, how would one work with this / prevent this from happening? Polarizing filter?

[Gemm]

Try it on a cloudy day? It's hard to avoid it unless you find an angle the sun isn't reflecting on the windows. Polariser wouldn't help.

Move the building, or the sun.

If the imaqe is a raw file then you might be able to tweak the exposure down a tad. Not sure if there is a way to just do it for the building, however I suspect that photoshop will help.

Oooh, when did you take that? There is a red rope round the Audi now, and loads of people in the way.

[pikey]

Ah. I was hoping they'd be a solution that everyone knew but me!

Early!

When you work there, it's easy to just pop a camera in a bag and have your own show at about 7:30am

Have some more....





Quite happy with the pics I took today. Will upload the rest when at home this eve..

[furtive]

I both work and live there, but am still asleep at 7:30am!

Does this look any better? It was done very quickly!

Back when all this was fields I used to have to shoot a lot of jewellery for catalogues. We used to use spray mount to prevent excessive glare. Nice results but not very popular with the jewellers as it was a bugger to clean off. You would also need quite alot of cans for your application. So to summarise: I don't know. HTH

I knew the R8 would look better in black (well a bit better anyway)... looks total pants in silver.

Drives like a demon I've read.

Bracketted shots and a lot of hard work in photoshop I suspect.

Wait till afternoon when the sun's moved.

1) I do think a polariser would help here - even if you don't have the required 90-degrees to the reflected light.

2) Michael (Stigmundfreud) on here only a day or so ago introduced me to an amazing piece of software called Photomatix, by www.hdrsoft.com. this represents the best solution to your problem - and it exists as freeware too (not just trial version)

Take two or more exposures for the lowlights and highlights respectively - and this program will do the rest for you.

It seems to have an image aligning feature - cos if you don't use a tripod, it has that task to do too.

Good shots, though!
