as ttxela has recently pointed out, my reflective overalls don't photograph very well.

I notice one of the banner photos features a quite close shot of two sets of these... how was this done?

My exploration buddies were having the same problem as I wear the same type of overalls with multiple reflective strips,
Anytime I was in one of their pics the reflective glare usually ruined the photo,I found this stopped after a couple of trips underground, in my case the abrasion/dirt from exploring eventually took the sheen off the reflective strips so now the only thing ruining their pics is my ugly mug....

I covered the reflective strips on mine with Duct Tape. It reduced the complaints from my exploring team considerably (1,750 Lumens reflected off them is a bit annoying... apparently).

I remember years ago a store (designer menswear store apparantly) had a couple of jackets for sale both had the entire outer shell coated in the 3M scotchlite reflective material we are all grumbling about,looked like something youd wear in an iron works or possibly to attend a ziggy stardust concert? and cost 300 quid each !! Great for going raving perhaps not so for caving.
