Hi,

That would depend on the subject looking directly at the camera lens, and the flash/distance ratio providing the correct angle of reflection.
Just my crazy idea...

This idea is not crazy at all, as the cause is indeed the angle between the flash-eye-camera. The further the reflecting eye (i.e. of someone who is looking into the camera lens) is away from the camera with the flash mounted on it, the smaller will be the above mentioned angle. Now, the smaller the angle, the more red eye effect occurs, so it's perfectly logical that from up close one doesn't get red eye effect, from mid-range one gets red eye, and from long range one gets white eyes (which I believe is simply a very extreme form of "red eye").

Then, Giles: did you seriously have a good trick to avoid this? Bouncing? PBG? Diffusors? Flash filters?

Cheers!
Olafo
