•Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.•Fast-moving subjects.•Subjects photographed through a window or other reflective object.

•Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reflect light, such as hair or fur.

•Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.

•Subjects that show little contrast with the back- ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).
