Earpiece lifted up.

Earpiece not lifted up

It is your job to take a great photo of Uncle Fred.  It is his fiftieth birthday party. Everyone is thanking you for bringing your camera and they can’t wait to see the photos.

You go home extremely excited because you know you got the perfect shot.

There you are in your pajamas downloading the images, when Uncle Fred’s image pops up.  You have this sinking feeling in your gut.  You can’t see his eyes because his glasses are filled with the light from your flash.  The next words out of your mouth I can’t write in my blog.

I want to share a simple trick to eliminate this problem.

Just ask Uncle Fred to lift the earpiece off of his ears.  He only has to lift the earpiece enough to redirect the light down and away from your camera.  It works every time.  Just check out the sample images.  You can’t discern the difference in his glasses but the reflection is gone. Oh by the way this will also work with Aunt Minnie.
