Solution: Turn on your flippin' desk lamp.
Mine happens to be one of those adjustable engineering lamps, with a CFL bulb. But for these purposes it doesn't really matter what kind of bulb you have. As you'll see in a minute, your webcam will auto-magically adjust for it when you help out a little. And you'll notice that the bright front light causes the webcam to lower the overall exposure, dropping the background down a tad.īut the bright, harsh light of the engineer's lamp is not doing me any favors. Solution: Diffuse the light with typing paper. Just two cents worth of office supplies gets you a softer light source. I just taped the paper to the open front of the lamp and the harsh light is now softened. Some differences: The shiny highlight in my forehead thankfully lessens in intensity, which is due to the larger apparent size of the light source.Īlso, the typing paper knocks down the brightness of the lamp, which means that the auto exposure adjustment causes (a) the background and (b) the computer reflection to come up some. Variation: Turn the bare lamp around and bounce it off of the wall, if there is one. This makes for a bigger, softer and dimmer light source. I killed the background lights because the dimmer front source made them appear too bright in the back. Your call on whether to diffuse the light or bounce it. Kill the Computer's Reflection in Your Eyes I usually prefer diffused for extra control and the fact that it retains more light intensity.ģ. Have you been noticing how the room lights appear to rise and fall based on the intensity of our front light? Solution: Adjust the monitor brightness and/or contrast down to the threshold at which you can just barely see comfortably (just while you are using your webcam.) Just adding light (other then that from the monitor) has partially solved the computer glare problem. That, along with the lamp acting as a dominant frontal light source, will kill the reflection. If you do not wear glasses, this is not a critical step.
