Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) anyone using? I process using laptop on recliner by picture window with amazing 25th floor view; spoiled yes, want the bright view AND want laptop monitor in the dark... I used to raise & lower window shade as needed but its complicated; recently I've kept it lowered to head level but then can't see almost entire sky would laptop shade or tent work? other method? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=laptop+shade&i=electronics&crid=Y0WBAFCPZIV9&sprefix=laptop+shade%2Celectronics%2C123&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 would working hands rub against shade or tent? comments from those with first-hand experience appreciated; did you employ one & then give it up -- why? thanks in advance 😎__😎__😎 Edited June 20, 2023 by Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Oh, you want your cake & eat it too? Good luck. I like the same. I need to feel connected to outdoors. Although I do give it up and have a darker work environment. I never work over 2-3 hours on my photos. Otherwise, all my windows are exposed to light.

How funny. I actually wrote a cardboard box idea for you but deleted it because I was afraid you’d think it stupid! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple and effective. I have small black ones for everyday travel, but a big deep one for my laptop. And a baseball hat, because the reflection of the sun on my face is sometimes worse than sun glare on the screen. On a set you'll see lots of black EZ-ups. I only have white ones, but a piece of black cloth usually works. Every photographer has heaps of those. Or maybe photoshop has done away with that. In the US (like at Walmart) there are EZ-up clones available for under $100. I recently bought a dark grey one here for half that, but it lets through sunshine and rain. Plus it's slower to set up. So not a good buy and not recommended. It is a lot lighter than the originals though. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
