Vision Correction (2653)

Assignment: PCA54 – Eyes and/or hands

 

WIT:

While I had many ideas for this assignment, after much contemplation, I went with this one because of its personal nature. Thanks to advances in optometry and new technologies, I am able to participate in this group. With the camera less than two feet away from the clock and the glasses only a few inches from the camera's lens, this gives a pretty close interpretation of what my vision is like without the correction.

 

I set this up by taping blankets and towels over the windows in the kitchen to reduce the glare and the reflections on the clock. Draped a blanket behind everything to eliminate the distracting background and set my camera to Aperture Priority. After several missed focus shots (using an old pair of glasses) went with a smaller aperture to get the focus correct through the lenses.

 

Thank you as always for your critiques.
