    Hi Jay

    Awesome video as usual. I have a problem that I wonder if you can solve for me. I take pictures in my customers home, I mostly use an octodome softbox and a reflektor. My customers really love my fishbowl and to have their kids investigate it and to splash around in it. Here is my problem, how do I get rid of the reflection in the bowl? My own solution for this so far is to remove it digitally in post, but is there a better way? A lighting technique or something else, that I can do in the shot?

    Kind regards from Denmark. (Pardon my English)

      Hi back to you in Denmark
      A fish bowel is very difficult if not impossible to light without some reflection. You are doing the right thing by retouching afterwards. Send me one of your fish bowel images unretouched and I can make some better suggestions. I have out objects in a fish bowel that will make the reflection less noticeable. The best way for me to comment is to see on of your images. Good Luck. Jay P.
