Everything we see has made its way through our eyes , which also mean , there ’s a honorable probability that most of our life is reflected in our eyes . Here are 12 fantastic image that celebrate that idea .
WINNER : Vertigo
Canon T2i , 100 mm , f/2.8 . I realized a little too tardy that doing this by myself was a awful approximation . It is really hard to seek to take a macro picture of yourself , with no autofocus , while having to target your eye on a movie poster a few understructure out . After about 300 picture and a billion tripod setups and lighting options , this one came along .

Macro Ring
For this I used my Canon T3i in macro setting with 100iso . For the lighting essence I used my Polaroid LED macro light ring and lay it around my heart . I was surprised by how it appropriate the color of my eye so well . I messed with the grade a act but the eye colouring material is straight . I used my microcomputer to monitor go the pic session , this enable me to get a really clean-cut nidus on my iris diaphragm .

Sky In The Eye
It ’s been a while since I ’ve tried to take an eyeball / iris shot on my own . In fact , I had a similar picture in a premature competition here which was probably the last metre I attempted it ! Well , I was reminded over the course of an hour and believably ~100 delete photos how hard it can be to line this up ! I achieved this effect by tilt my caput while hang out my window with my camera on a tripod on the roof . I would line up my eye with my observation in the front crystalline lens factor . I did n’t desire the camera to be seeable in the shot , however , the top can really be visit in the marrow of my student , but it looks like the tree - line ! Would you have point out ? Canon T2i – 18 - 55 mm lense @ 55 mm – f7.1 – 1/80th – ISO 200pop .

We Have Contact
I wish I had a better macro lens system for this challenge … the minimal focus distance was several feet , so I jazz I ’d be cropping the range later . The streaks in the reflection were from a gobo pattern in an ETC ellipsoidal . The helping hand belongs to my very patient example . I do n’t own a strobe outfit ( hence the high ISO and downcast shutter speed – could n’t go much brighter with continuous clear sources without blinding the subject ) , but I do have access to guide film / video spark and a cyc rampart . I used two DeSisti LED storey lamp ( 40W Magis and 90W Leonardo ) to unhorse the manakin and Altman LED Spectra Cyc 100 ’s made it a breeze to find the same blue to match the model ’s eye . Tech Info : Canon 5D Mark III , Sigma 70 - 300 mm w / macro lens system , 300 mm focal length , f/5.6 aperture , 1/20s shutter , ISO 3200 , cropped and tweaked in Adobe Camera RAW & Photoshop .

Wingless
I was excited about this competition because I call up macro shots of eyes are some of the coolheaded figure of speech . After some persuasion , my friend volunteer to let me use her eyes and I let her break up the object to be reflected . As an artist herself , she chose a favorite personal drawing of a crying angel with the caption “ I can fly no matter how wingless I sense ” . The image was sprout with a a Canon 7D and a 60 mm macro , a constant light to keep her pupil small , and then a outside heartbeat to bounce off the drawing for the reflection . Credit for the eye and drawing goes to Sonya Bolton .

Big Screen
Wanted to try out my unexampled tele so figured I would give this a shot . This is a photograph of my eye , get hold of with a Canon T4i on a tripod with the Canon 70 - 200 at 120 mm . I used a Kenko 36 mm extension service tubing as a macro instruction . television camera specs are ISO 800 , f2.8 , 1/30 . The only processing done to the image was a simple harvest . I used Photoshop to create and reverse the reflected image . The picture is displayed on my Macbook halt extremely airless to my face . There was a fill light above but the bulk of the lighter came from the computer screen door at max light . The rough quote comes from the Underpants Gnomes South Park Episode and subsequent memes .

Middle Falls
This photo was taken at Letchworth State Park command the middle falls . I used an Olympus EPL-2 fructify at “ autofocus ” which ended up being iso 200 , f9 , at 1/250 of a second . I looked into the sun , aimed the camera as best I could at my eye , and protrude snapping away . After the shot was have I upped the social system , contrast , and saturation a bit in they eye using the Photoshop plugin Viveza 2 to make the reflection pop a little more .

Cross My … affectionateness
So I called my friend Cath for the crack . The original idea was to have a queen of harts playing card in her eye . I could nt get the shooting to work like I wanted to . So then we moved indoors and were just talk about idea on the shot and she catch the crossing . It work utterly . Nikon D5100 , 18mm-55 mm Lens , f/5.6 , 1/6 sec , ISO 100 .

This is her optic and her Super Nintendo controller . 35 mm , 1/40 sec , 400 ISO , f/7.0 . I also used macro propagation tube .

Hawkeye
This was tough . Frustratingly tough without daytime / sunlight . The girlfriend and I do n’t get much time together these twenty-four hours , so I like to utilize these challenges as an excuse to do something together and practice picture taking at the same time . The concept was fundamentally a themed exposure on my favorite amusing book series right now , Hawkeye . So I proposed she do her composition in a style that was inspire by the series , and that part come out fantastical in my opinion . The reflection was supposed to be a wide-eyed cover from one of the issuance of the series . One job , with just indoor lighting ( only time we had to get this done was late at night ) it was next to insufferable to get the rule book to speculate into the eye properly . So the pellet did n’t come out how I want it to come out … but I still remember it ’s a really cool concept and the war paint at least looks great ! Would love to do a series of these free-base on my favorite books and her amazing constitution skills . Canon t2i , 18 - 55 mm kit lens ( at 55 mm ) , f/9 , no flash .

Rubber Ducky
I was pretty delirious to try this out , and then a little disappointed in the results of my actual efforts . This is of my 1 year old daughter outside playing with her safety duck’s egg . She loves that duck ! In bet at the pictures I took of her , I retrieve that there was a reflexion of her duck in her centre . This photo was n’t actually intend to be for this challenge , but I see there was a mirror image , so I cropped and brightened up the colors . Canon Rebel XS , f/1.8 , 1/1000sec , ISO-100 , +2 step , 50 mm .

quick For My Close - Up
I took these with my Nikon D3100 , f/5.6 1/50 sec exposure , ISO 800 , 55 millimeter focal , no newsbreak . Long chronicle little , I do not have a macro lens of the eye or any real macro instruction experience . I have been meaning to participate in these challenges for a prospicient time but never got around to it , so when this was announced , and I actually had a solid idea , I got my crap together and did what I could ! Unfortunately , my pics did not make out out like I want … I had the luxurious idea of having the optic reflexion show me look at myself in the mirror and outcry ( so much angst , I bed , but it was hypothesize to secern a tale . ) I need to beguile how multitude try themselves in the mirror and deal with body image issues . you may see the studio light source of my privy mirror so I judge that ’s kind of cool .
