Reflected by andycoleborn

Reflected

Thought I'd try out a close up eye shot tonight. Much harder than I thought. Took bundles of pics - most blurred, or the focus was all wrong. Finally snapped one that wasn't too bad.

Love the way you can not only see my eye lashes reflected, but also my hand on the camera, my windows and if you look closely enough, the block of flats opposite to where I live... Quite cool..

Learnt tho that close ups when your nearly 41 are rather scary!!! Oh, and have I got long lashes or are they normal for a man??? I dunno... haven't exactly checked out other guys eyes...

Remember reading once that police in Victorian times use to photograph dead peoples eyes in the hope they held the reflection of the killer... Might be a myth but could be true..

Off to cook now... spent enough time messing about with photos...
Andy, the detail is really amazing and impressive. The shades of the iris are phenomenal. I'd say your diligence paid off!
