Abstract: In aspects of automated polarizer filter positioning, a device includes a polarizer integrated with the device and auto-positioned to filter lighting of a camera scene. The device includes a camera device to capture a digital image of the camera scene using the polarizer at a rotation angle of the polarizer. The device implements an imaging manager to determine an orientation of the device relative to a position of the sun. The imaging manager can also determine the lighting of the camera scene as viewable with the camera device, and position the polarizer at the rotation angle based on the orientation of the device and the lighting of the camera scene to filter the lighting. The imaging manager can then initiate the camera device to capture the digital image of the camera scene with an imager of the camera device at the rotation angle of the polarizer.

Abstract: In implementations of automated bounce flash, a camera device includes a camera to capture an image of a subject in an environment, and includes a flash device to illuminate the subject for image capture. A memory and processor of the camera device implements an image exposure application to select a surface in the environment from which to bounce light emitted from the flash device toward the subject during the image capture. The image exposure application is also implemented to control a direction of the light emitted from the flash device onto the selected surface during the image capture.
