"She's ready for her closeup, Mr. DeMille." One might call today's image an extreme closeup. I used my macro extension tubes for this one, and it just makes things difficult. For starters, because the tubes are mounted between the lens and the camera, auto focus is not possible. Secondly, the depth of focus is so shallow that a minute movement causes the image to be dramatically out of focus. Though I first attempted to shoot my own eye, I immediately realized it would be easier to ask for a volunteer. Our model was patient, and sat for about five minutes as I held my breath, tilting the camera slightly forward or backward. Our depth of field is so shallow that one can see that the contact lens and the side eyelashes are in sharper focus than the iris. Our light source is a 36-inch strip light at camera-left. The reflection is clearly visible. I really like how the reflection of the eyelashes break up the reflection of the light. Fun stuff! Thanks for stopping by!!
