Photography at Work (ShutterClock submission)
I do photography every day at work (lucky me!), so it was easy enough to take a photo for the ShutterClock project.
I work in an optometry clinic, and one of my duties is to do retinal photography for every patient before they go in for their eye exam. That's what I was doing at 1:00 PM Pacific time.
This is the back surface of someone's right eye. (Know the red eye that people get in photographs? This is it.) The yellow spot is the optic nerve, where it connects to the eye. The darker area is the macula, the centre of the back of the eye. All the red tissue is the retina, the tissue that lines the inside of the eye.
(This is the camera I use for this kind of photography.)
