keep your eye on the ball

We did more macro eyeball shots.


This one is obviously enhanced.





This eye is mine, which means Cindy took it. Click to embiggen.

Um? Which one is OBVIOUS and why?

Are you saying that #2 and #3 are the eyes of different people? And that #1 and #2 are the same person's eye?

The first two are Cindy's eye. So you can see that one is much more brightly colored than the other. The second one is natural color.

The third one is my eye.

I moved the caption on the third one, to make it more obvious which one I was talking about.

Wow, you guys have very similar eye color! The second and third could be from the same person!

When you compare one and two it is easy to see, but on its own, the first one looks really natural in color.

Here's one of Cyn's eye that I took last weekend.

I was staring at these photos for quite a while this afternoon, so maybe I have a different perspective than you. Cyn's eyes are pale blue, with some bright orange. My eyes are basically brown, but they're a greenish brown. Hazel-ish, maybe.

It could be the shadows and light reflected in your eye too. So much of the "greenish" part is distorted with those two things, that it looks like it COULD be the same color as Cindy's eye in the second photo. I think it is the brown around the pupil that makes them so similar. I have one eye that is basically brown, but the other has a lot of green on the lower half, so it looks sort of hazel at times.

In person, our eyes look very different. I made the same comment, that they look almost the same color in these pictures. I always thought his eyes were brown until I saw these photos. I think the color of the sunlight had something to do with this sameness. He has much more of a thick starburst kind of brown around his pupil. Mine is much subtler and thinner.

Now I was side-by-side photos in correct lighting to see what they really look like next to each other.

I would like to see that too.

I once saw an interview with photographer Roberto Salas (american expat who photographed Fidel Castro) where he was asked if the camera ever lied. He said yes, the camera sees what the photographer wants it to see.

" the camera sees what the photographer wants it to see."

"Scarily well focused."

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but thanks!

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Blurry, but you can see the colors.

[ravenfeather.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, now I can see it, but there is a lot of what I would call gray in both eyes, just more in hers than in yours. ODD LOOKING pushed up against each other like that. *grin*

If you Google "two irises" there are a couple of photos that come up, that are apparently real.

AHHHHHHH!

That is... BIZARRE!
