I posted this on an existing thread, but never got any response. Is there anything I can do about glare on glasses when using a speedlight?

In this particular pose I would have had the subject tilt their head down just a touch and also might have moved my shooting angle slightly. Sam Laterza flickr

Here is a very useful tutorial from Strobist. I definitely recommend doing the Lighting 101 and 102. It will teach you so much.http://strobist.blogspot.com …lighting-for-glasses.html
