For those of you who haven't been following, you might want to see my last post to understand where I'm referencing.
Anyway, one of the criticisms mentioned frequently was that the mirrored reflection sort of played tricks on your head. I fixed it a little with a glass partition between the subject and mirror, but still wasn't really satisfied.
I hunted around for other shiny things. Aluminum foil is my next best attempt, again using a glass partition.
This seemed to favor gold pens, not sure why, that's just my perception. I had to avoid certain angles to prevent the flash from reflecting off of the foil.
What do you think?
