open half snap a photo and close it again. But yea, i hate it when the FA's tell us to close it every time when i open it!
I don't hate it. Many times the glare
does interfere with the screen resolution. Then again, I don't think I've encountered the situation where an FA has asked me to close my window shade as soon as I looked outside. Out of curiosity, how long did you have the shades up before a member of the cabin crew asked you to close them?

It's hard to see anything at all, really - your eyes get accustomed to the gloom inside.
I agree with you. But I also agree with
christep, there are always the eyeshades if sleep is an overriding concern. From what I've seen, though, many window pax don't stare out the windows most of the time; they just want the understandably nice use of natural daylight for reading or vegetating.
I personally haven't found it problematic to open the shades for a minute or so to admire the winter or mountain views outside. Then I close the shades just out of consideration.
