OP, I too struggle with window reflections. I just shot a few of a storefront. I have no real issues with reflections on the front glass, my reflections come from glass behind the display. This art studio is downtown and on a main street with buildings across the street. I use a CPL on my lens. I just do my best to get the best angle to get the least amount of reflections possible. I have tried pretty much every angle, there's no getting rid of them all. If anyone has any other suggestions, I always welcome them.

That's a really nice Christmas photo.

So how much do you feel the CPL helps? A little, a lot?

Hi Alan if you want to jump in, Jump in with both feet.
If you wish to educate anyone then do it.

Just how hard is it for you to post links on polarization ?
About as hard it is for you to write the word jibberish ...............

I agree. If you call someone's post gibberish, then you should back up that claim.

For myself, I don't care about the physics of reflections.

It helps a little, but it doesn't work miracles :lol: This shop sits on a two lane road near the square of my hometown. Street lights, businesses, all causing glare. I often feel like I am battling the reflections as I try to find the best angles to shoot and minimize those reflections!
