it's an excellent article, thanks for sharing it!

thanks for the suggestion Robert!

Thanks Stewart, I really appreciate the clamshell recomendation. And will need to be careful about head movement while shooting, since no matter where or how I set up the lights there will be a visible reflection at some point unless I more or less hold still.

LIGHTING QUESTION Hello all, Writing with a lighting question: wondering if anyone has any recommendations or advice on reflectors or bounce boards? Am using an RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens along with two ring lights for video and film, I love the way they make the skin and face look. I set things up in my home studio such that my EOS R6 is pointing through the ring light then I adjust to high-temperature, cold light since the bright white light makes eyes and face glow. Problem is that I wear glasses and it seems like no matter what I do, there's a clearly visible reflection in my glasses. And when I set up both ring lights, I try to raise and lower them but they are still visible as reflections, I try to tilt them back and forward but they are still visible. Only way I've found to remove the ring light reflection from my glasses is when I set them off to the side, but then the eyes and face no longer glow and it produces heavy shadows on my chubby lil cheeks. So I'm trying to figure out how to do flat front lighting with a ring light (or two) to highlight the eyes and face but without a visible reflection in my glasses and I am stuck. All I can think to do is to use a bounce board or a reflector to provide wash lighting, even and broad, with no defined shape(s) or visible reflection(s) in my glasses. But I am far from an expert (you noticed already!) and am seeking advice and suggestions. Thanks in advance for your consideration, any and all feedback most gratefully appreciated. Chris
