How do I remove the mist from the glass when shooting close up?

pancaketom:
I guess if you shot in a cold place (outside in the winter or a walk in freezer) or very dry air you might not get the condensation either. Of course you might have other issues to deal with.

Artificial ice degrades the quality of the photo, so I use real ice.
Do you have any suggestions for this shoot?

Yes - fake ice.

But there are others. Anyone who did skin diving (which has much prettier names now) spit into the mask before going down.

The starch and sugars in a potato can act as a fog repellent. Cut a potato in half and rub the exposed half on your windows/windshield. (glass of product) Wipe off any excess potato juice.

Use anti-fog lens spray.

But personally, I like the idea of fake ice which anyone can reuse indefinitely.

eBay: 20pcs Artificial Ice Cubes US $6.99 free shipping, which is much better than Trengrove as far as cost goes.

Lighting test shot. It's an acrylic cube, not a fake "ice cube".

rather than spray, get an anti-fog cloth from any ski shop

Sky:
Thanks guys for your valuable comments.
I just did an experiment with potatoes and the result is very successful. :)
Only a trace of the potato remained, other than that there was no mist.

To completely remove this trace, I will add water to a small bowl, extract the juice from the potato, wet the glass with this water, and then let it dry.
Fake ice might work too but I'll try this potato method.
