Description
Set a lamp up to aim slightly to one side of my eyes and my camera on tripod and took a few shots.
Its not easy to focus when your face is this side of the lens with your own finger on the trigger. LOL ! what seemed like the first hundred shots focussed mainly on my lashes or some horrible wrinkle, blemish or vein which made me feel like Arrrrgh !
This was just about the best effort, it was fun trying lol!

Nicely done! I would cheat and use auto focus. LOL! :)
Fabulous shot! The eye is an amazing thing in close up!
Great brown eye :) Excellent macro!
Such an amazing close up photo Alan, the details are magnificent
you got the eye . cool shot
Well I think it was worth all the hassle, but then I wasn't being blinded by a studio lamp for an hour while I shot and shot again in frustration!
Cool...glad you kept trying. This shot is worth it. You do have nice eyes...(assuming the other one is the same...LOL)
Very cool capture! The iris of the eye is so very interesting. I knew a teenager that did this with his new camera, but didn't have such a set up, and to this day I don't know how he did it.
Good eye.
