First announce that you will be taking two photos of the group because of the light of the flash bouncing back to the camera. The first picture will be of the entire group including those wearing their glasses. \u00a0Then, with everyone keeping their heads as steady as possible, ask those with glasses to remove them for the second picture. This last picture will enable you to accomplish three things: Clone clear, open eyes onto the glasses; clone a better facial expression onto\u00a0anyone\u00a0with a poor expression; clone open eyes onto anyone who blinked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope these tips have been helpful. \u00a0If you have other photography related questions, why not bring them to the next Van Wert Area Photography Club&#8217;s meeting, Thursday, July 11, at 114 S.
