Phil77 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 one of our customers likes to hire us for a long photo mission (approx 200-400 locations).So far so good, but we have a "door issue" - we're getting close to the colder season here at the east cost (had a photo flight into Philly today... just the left door off but - *brrr* ) Thicker clothes are not an option because on top of it the photographer has a fear of heights. to make a long story short here my two questions:1. I heard of anti glare lenses for the camera - how good are they? any recommendations?2. any foils or replacement for the normal schweizer door? any inputs are greatly appreciated!

Witch Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Try a polarizing filter on the lens. Oh, get the kind that rotates and that'll work fer ya. They work great at eliminating reflections. Also, put a skylight filter on there too. That'll help with those annoying reflections in the lens. Later.

PhotoFlyer Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 A circular polarizer will help with glare, as will the skylight filter, but the door can still appear in the image. Also, the curved plastic will refract light, which can make the photo look a little funny. If your flying a R22, there is a door (aftermarket or robbie, I don't know) that has a photographers window in it. I don't know if there is one for a schweizer.

HelliBoy Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Have you looked into the schwiezer door with the sliding window? It's oriented a little low on the frame but I think you could get decent pics out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil77 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanx guys! Meanwhile I found a good thread on another forum where Ned expained the ups and downs (more the downs ) of shooting through the plastic... Yes HelliBoy I also found the company who's manufacturing these windows - I call 'em today. again, thanks a lot! Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
