All good tips! I wrapped a diffuse cover for the slit lamp in a circle around bowl, reduced reflections as much as possible Worked pretty good without the set up here that Colin recommends. No time for that Thank you Colin, and everyone else. Nice to hear from you Colin! D.

At least with digital cameras these days you don't have to wait until you process the film to discover the badly placed reflection/bad exposure! I am assuming your subject is not very large. Try making a lighting tent with some white diffusing material. You never totally eliminate reflections although a circular polarising filter may help. It's a long time since I did much studio photography but a tent was quite a handy device. You can buy them ready made or just make it yourself. The one in the picture is called Lastolite Cubelite Kit. [cid:image001.png@01CED627.6919A500] Hope that helps Colin
