With your image open in Photoshop make a duplicate layer (Ctrl+J).Using the brush tool in Lightroom is about the easiest way to dehaze selective parts of an image. This slider will either increase or decrease the amount of haze. In Lightroom when you’re in Develop Mode you will see it in the bottom section of the Basic Panel on the right-hand side.

Set your exposure to less than what your meter recommends. Take a spot meter reading from an area of your composition that’s causing glare. This won’t eliminate glare, but it will reduce it. You can also control the amount of light that enters your camera. For a detailed description of how circular polarising filters work, take a look at this article. You may not be able to eradicate a reflection, but this filter will improve the way your photo will look.īy rotating the outer ring on a circular polariser the filter blocks out some forms of light entering the lens.

You can also use your hat or anything you can hold or have someone else hold to shield your lens. Hold your left hand above and in front of your lens to block the light. At times they may not provide enough shade to stop the light source entering your lens. Many lenses come with a lens hood specifically designed for this purpose.

You can try positioning your camera so that an object in your composition blocks the unsightly brightness. Hiding the glare behind your subject or another element in your composition is also possible. You may want to retain some of the effects the glare is causing. As you move, pay attention to what’s happening with the light as you do. Moving a little to your left or right, up or down, will often achieve the desired result.
If you move your camera position to a different angle the reflection is no longer a problem. Light reflects off a flat surface at the same angle that it strikes the surface. Reflected glare can be dealt with in the same way, but for a different reason. When light enters your lens directly you need to change your position so your camera is not pointed in the direction of the light source. Once you are aware of the source of the problem, you can use various techniques to remove glare from your photos.

Sometimes the source of the glare will be apparent, as when the sun is behind your subject. It’s more common in zoom lenses because they contain a larger number of individual lens elements. The larger the number of elements in the lens, the greater the likelihood of encountering flare. Lens flare shows up as shapes and spots caused by light refracting internally between the glass elements in your lens. This often causes haziness and what’s known as lens flare. Sometimes camera glare is caused by a light source shining into your lens. Before you can deal with glare you must find its source.
