Reflections are polarized. So perhaps a polarizing filter would help. If you have any polarizing filter lying around, try looking through it while rotating it and see if it helps. Experiment with the lights at the same time. Some combination of lighting and polarization may do the trick. In product photography, I've heard of photographers putting polarizing gels on their studio lights and using one on the lens as well. This helps tame reflections from multiple lights, where a polarizer on the lens might eliminate reflections from only one unpolarized light at a time. --Peter At 08:21 PM 9/16/2006 -0700, Adam Bridge wrote: >I want to photograph, well, our newly remodeled kitchen.
