Watching You *

Victoria, BC, Canada








I took a picture of my eye with my Canon PowerShot S1 IS, a custom paper flash diffuser, and a Raynox DCR250 super macro lens.
The image was initially whited out, but I ran it through my photo album web page building program and it automatically increased the contrast and made an 800*600 version of the image among other sizes.

Very sharp image! This would be terrific I bet in b&w with some tweaking. Not that I don't like it in color...but I'm wanting to see this in b&w. Great job on your focusing! jano

Every time I use my super macro lens and paper flash diffuser, I use f/8 for maximum depth of field. I use a 1/250s shutter speed and the flash on full power. I zoom in all the way and set the manual focus to the closest focus and lock it there. I zoom in all the way and move the camera until the object is in focus in the short depth of focus f/3.1 preview, then I zoom out to the required zoom distance and take the shot while being careful not to move the camera or object, which changes the focal point.

This is very nice Dylan. I like the color and detail. What aperture did you shoot this at? I'm just curious!
