Hi,
That would depend on the subject looking directly at the camera lens, and
the flash/distance ratio providing the correct angle of reflection.
Just my crazy idea...
This idea is not crazy at all, as the cause is indeed the angle between the
flash-eye-camera. The further the reflecting eye (i.e. of someone who is
looking into the camera lens) is away from the camera with the flash mounted
on it, the smaller will be the above mentioned angle. Now, the smaller the
angle, the more red eye effect occurs, so it's perfectly logical that from
up close one doesn't get red eye effect, from mid-range one gets red eye,
and from long range one gets white eyes (which I believe is simply a very
extreme form of "red eye").
Then, Giles: did you seriously have a good trick to avoid this? Bouncing?
PBG? Diffusors? Flash filters?
Cheers!
Olafo
