My Eye by laurentye

My Eye

Yep, this is my eye.

Lacking motivation and time today, so I did what I always do when this happens. I stole someone else's recent idea :p thanks Simon (@spthorne) for the idea! An eye shot is something that's been on my 365 idea list but have never been able to successfully get the focus right. So this time I was patient. It took a few attempts, but finally my eye is in focus! yay!

*I should have cleaned my office first - I can see the huge mess all over my office reflected in my eye

*I don't know if it's noticeable to anyone else but this eye has a little oval shaped scar above my eyelid from a movie viewing incident from childhood (the movie was "My Girl" the incident involved a sharp, wooden corner).
I like the fact you did it in B&W, I did an eye shot a while back and I should have changed it to B&W I was never happy with it in color

I need to do an eye shot as well. Might now steal your idea for this week! I like it in b&w over colour as well.

@indianabluejay @russianblue thanks both of you :) yeah I wasn't satisfied in colour and then when i was playing with black and white I liked the way it looked when I made the whites super bright like this.

Beautiful picture, and the story of your scar adds to the mystery.

Excellent eye! You got the window reflection, too! Good work!
November 21st, 2011  
cool shot,great capture
November 21st, 2011  
Great shot, and it looks nice in b&w. You are too funny about your office. It is so funny how this project really makes you clean your house too!!
November 21st, 2011  
It's a lovely eye and a really cool shot.
November 21st, 2011  
i can see part of your bangs! haha. Have they grown out at all yet?! i need to cut mine....i wonder if i should attempt that today?! maybe i should invite you over, lol, would be easier having someone else do it. I like this in black and white. i took a shot of my husbands eye once...and it turned out soooo weird bc it was so crisp and clear that his eye lashes looked kind of unreal and gross. hahaha. I should try that again sometime.

@myautofocuslife @spthorne @peterauliciems @simonhughes @alia_801 @scooter @michelleyoung @kokobillia @allie912 @marlboromaam @steeler @egad @mittens @kdimagery

thanks everyone for the nice comments on this one! they are all appreciated!
@spthorne Simon or you could get some nice fake eyelashes - that would look even better than mascara lol :)
@kdimagery HAHA yes! oh my gosh yes i should go cut your bangs for you! then yours would look just as awesome as mine lol and it would give me some practice haha :D
November 21st, 2011  
You did a really good job on this eye taking malarkey, yep, it definitely has eye appeal and I can see your bangs too. However, I don't see your scar. So, you lose a point for the invisible scar. :)
November 21st, 2011  
@laurentye HAHAHAHAHA!! well i suppose since it would give you the practice for next time, then i will allow you cut mine :D Besides, im sure you would do better then i would on my own. lol.
November 21st, 2011  
i love the high key nature of this image lauren (or should that be 'eye key') ...well done
November 21st, 2011  
Love the over exposure, works well :]
November 21st, 2011  
Excellent shot.
November 21st, 2011  
Congratulations on visual bangs! Great eye shot, and I like that you turned it b&w. I might have to give the eyeball a go!

Isn't there a scary movie about kids who have black ink eyes?
November 22nd, 2011  
Perfectly done, Lauren! It almost looks like a map of the world in your iris! Love it!!
November 23rd, 2011  
I would think it would be tough to get a good shot of your own eye. Nice job!
