iso - Shooting objects under glass with pop-up flash



I sometimes need to take photos of new devices kept behind glass at trade shows. Currently I have to depend on my camera's in-camera flash. Often the picture is spoilt because of the flash's reflected glare. Any tips on overcoming or reducing this without resorting to a very high ISO?



Answer



Another tip you can try is to fit a flash diffuser on your flash, (a tip I was given is if you don't have a diffuser for the flash then use some of the semi opaque sellotape over the flash, as that will lower the potency of the flash), and fit a circular polarising filter to the front of your lens. Adjust the circular polariser till it removes the flash. This might take a few shots getting it right, but it does work.
