Seeing Darkness

How to create this effect:

 

1. Wire up four green and four blue LEDs to a circle (i.e. on a cardboard ring), attach the battery.

 

2. Put all your close-up lenses onto your default lens. Configure an exposure time between 0.4 and 1.0 seconds. Enable Autofocus.

 

3. Observe your own eye's reflection in the lens, look directly at the bright square (which is the view-finder from the other side).

 

4. Let the LEDs shine into your eye to give the Autofocus enough light. Shoot!

 

5. Stare for a moment, then move the LED ring quickly.
