So (sigh) I've got these sexy flares all over everything. What can you do? Early morning departure for a 4-day rally
and the sun is where the sun is and due to traffic, choice of positioning was limited. Maybe they'll think it's cute 😏

You mean you don't carry a parasol in that voluminous camera bag you carry around! 😁

I suppose in a situation with window reflections, a Polarizing Filter would help? This was constantly moving stuff and the angle of the sun was also moving, all very tricky. Ah well.

I got one but it’s circular. And didn’t work all that well. I think I need to get a linear one. Or I could just wait for the new Adobe tool that removes reflections. Maybe I should just get the AI it’s own account.

Too much AI, in my opinion. Removing reality one replaced sky at a time... yes, I've also only got one Circular PL and the diameter doesn't fit the lens I was using. Tricky, isn't it!

I quite like the flares in this shot. It gives it a kind of 1970s feel.

I thought daffodils were only hazardous when eating the bulb.

You never heard of The Killer Daffodils? 😛

From experience, I know that they are lethal.
Many years ago my elderly grandfather cooked a meal for my parents, using what he thought were onions out of his garden shed.
Unfortunately, they were daffodil bulbs.
Fortunately, my parents were both violently sick, before they were severely poisoned.

"Light Science and Magic" by Biver, Fuqua, et.al. is your friend, Irene.
It taught me more about both studio, indoor and outdoor lighting in about 4 weeks than over 50 years of practical experience.

It's very well illustrated with diagrams and samples, is easy to read, and an essential guide to all kinds of lighting and lighting problems.

Tragic news from today: at an airshow I was meant to attend but did not, due to car rally work, this Impala had a fatal crash this afternoon - RiP and blue skies to the pilot 💔
