I've just written a blog that might have some tips people can use - with some rather inadequate photos that ideally need re-doing when I have chance - on photographing reflective surfaces - with a quick and dirty trick that works a treat for getting better reflective surfaces.
I can't post the URL as I'm new, but it's my most recent blog and the blog site should be in my sig.
Wow fab resource! Thanks, that'll keep me busy for a few hours!!
