I love your shot of the car and headlamp. I know from experience it's difficult to hide the photographer in the photo. But I can't find you. How did you do this? #6675

Hi Penny: I'm pleased you like my photo! Yes, you are certainly correct: It is often difficult to hide the photographer in reflection shots.
What worked for me here was that I set up my camera at an angle to the chrome, thus leaving me out of the picture. My other technique involved a tripod, so I could keep my composition in place while I waited (several minutes) for some showgoers to appear in the reflection. Thanks for asking! Kerry #9811

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
