Hey Everyone,

I took this macro of an eye, I think the colors of the iris were captured well but the white areas turned out really blown.

Had to use the flash, which didnt help I dont think. I still dont know very much but still enthusiastic.

Would be interesting to get some opinions as well :) also, is there any processing that could make it a better shot?

Cheers :thumbs:

looks to me like you're focused on the reflection rather than iris?

Only suggestion I can make is to use natural light and not flash.

Yeah, I guess I could so with a tripod or something so that I can make do without flash. :)

Nice shot, the detail in the eye if you can get close is just amazing.

Mark, If you have suffiecient natural light you won't need a tripod.

I took this shot last weekend, natural light through the patio doors, no tripod needed

Thats good :thumbs:

What I meant was if I was going to take one in the same light again I might be better of having a tripod, is that right?

Mark,

Sorry, misunderstood you. If using same light levels then yes, use a tripod. Just be careful with longer shutter with the subject moving.
