Any light at all on the inside and the window will act like a mirror thus
reflecting everything on the opposite wall in the room too. I suggest
hanging snugly, a pastel colored bed sheet/linen over the window. Or add
some drapes, any suitable color, to the window to cover it just for the
photo shoot. Better yet, leave the drape there permanently and it will
make the room sound better. That big window has got to be acoustically
reflective. Also filter the flash with a tissue or hankie to reduce the hot
spot.
I have to make pictures of my wife's artwork which is, framed, under glass,
and watercolor. Tough to get it correctly done without distorting the
artwork, keep correct color balance and also have no reflections.
Nice looking station, Rick. Both of mine stations are posted on the
Tentec Community. Yes, holding the mouse over the upper corner of each
picture will allow a drop down showing the station call.
I'm looking forward to the Tentec net on 20M, 14.245MHz +/- QRM, Sunday at 4
PM EDST. I'll be on the Omni VII via the direct internet connection.

Thanks everybody.
Lots of good ideas.
Unfortunately my camera doesn't have many adjustments.
In the Old days, I had a film camera that could do all that.
Now it's pretty much just point and click.
My XYL has a much better (much newer) digital camera.
I'll have to read her instruction book and see if I can adjust more stuff
on
hers than on mine.
We have outside shutters on our windows and I have tried with them down.
Unfortunately the big window just acts like a big mirror.
I did already try some pictures from different angles, and yes, it helped,
but still not enough.
Here is the best one I could get:

As you can see, it's like ONE HUGE MIRROR behind the rig.
I think the final solution will involve hanging some kind of curtain
behind
the rig.
Maybe I could tape a sheet to the window. That's probably the easiest
way.
I think fixing the problem (the window), rather than fancy photography is
probably going to be the best path for me because like I said, I just am
lousy at photography.
Cheers Guys!
