How can I reduce the glare in the goggles? I can't really ask the dog to move his head around so I need to do something with the lights.

You could move the light a foot or so in either direction.

This is basic physics of light reflection: http://en.wikipedia.or​g/wiki/Reflection_(phy​sics (external link))


I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine

I've always had success by tipping the eyeglasses slightly to the floor. So, (on a person) raise the ear pieces above the ears. Works like a charm.

My solution to this in jewelry photography is to place a Rosco Polarizing sheet in front of your main light and dial out the reflections on your lens polarizer = cross polarization.

Mark Wallace has a good video on angle of incidence on YouTube. Couldn't find the link but it was one of the exploring photography episodes.

get your hands on polarized goggles, maybe take those to a eyeglass place and see if they can coat them

Since you asked how to reduce the glare vs. illuminating it the answer is to use a larger light source. As the area of illumination gets larger the intensity of light diminishes.
