He's got this picture as his wallpaper...on dual screens! It's REALLY creepy. <br /><br />The dark room did keep his pupil open but it was incidental. I really needed the dark room just for exposure. The cloud looking reflection is just the wax paper over my homemade ring flash. I couldn't get one contiguous piece to work.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501449740507789491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869075506920535351.post-85479531135271483942010-11-02T08:42:09.778-05:002010-11-02T08:42:09.778-05:00Okay, this is just a little creepy but I can'...Okay, this is just a little creepy but I can't help but study it. <br />Thank you so very much for taking up the slack and giving us a great shot and some techniques to ponder. <br />Did having the dark room and just a moment of light through the strobe allow for a more open pupil? Also, somehow you made the light look as if there are clouds in his eye. I thought this was taken outside until I read it. <br />EYE love it!

And because I was so close to the subject (think 8-9 inches) I don't think ambient light would have done much. The dark room was just intended to minimize motion blur as much as possible. It's an example of using the length of time of the flash as the determinant for exposure rather than the shutter speed. It can be a great way to expose shots. Most cameras top out at 1/4000 sec and some go as high as 1/8000. A good strobe can beat that with the settings right.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501449740507789491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869075506920535351.post-80778148044931827382010-11-01T22:47:03.736-05:002010-11-01T22:47:03.736-05:00Um, eyeballs are kind of weird up close.

Thanks for helping me scratch one more potential career.<br />I like this photo more than the one with the true ring flash. The entire image of the flash filling the pupil suits my tastes better. <br />Can I ask why you went dark room, sharp light, slow shutter? I'm left wondering what type of effect the homemade ring flash would have in a more ambient light situation. <br />The detail in the iris is amazing. Once again, I really, REALLY want a macro. <br />Now I must go contemplate what to do for a living when I grow up. Oh and I get to come up with a way to build on an eyeball. hmmmm....Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797145453561082453noreply@blogger.com
