Window to the soul.

Post by dearis »

Hi there,

was playing around today, wanted to take some eye shots, have concluded that outside in the sun will be best and having them rest there head on something will also be a bonus and when the day is sunny I will try it. I couldn't get the shutterspeed to freeze the shot, and with the head moving focus was hard.

Anyway this was a shot that didn't really work but I liked the result.

Exif. 1/200sec, F/2.8, 100mm macro lens with kenko pro tubes, ISO-100, Twin Lite macro flash 2:1

That's a cool shot, whatever your intentions may have been. Excellent result! Was this done with the twin flash (for the two highlights)?

G'day Paul,
