Assignment #51: Eye of Beholder
![Nikolai](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/uploads/customavatars/0/navatar_1200.jpg)
You would think that, given my history with numbers, this time we would have to shoot at exactly 51mm, 1/51 sec, ISO 51, having the camera exactly 51 inch (or cm, or meter) from the subject? Nah... :lol3
This week we're going to shoot the eyes! Pet, animals, people - all would do.
The idea is to get an eye to fill as large part of the frame as possible. Watch for your own (and camera's) reflection - you may or may not like how it looks.
One eye per shot please.
Basic EXIF (aperture, speed, focal length, ISO) is required, a link to the complete exif is appreciated.
For the rest of the rules, index, etc. please refer to this sticky.

Balinese eye from a small wooden owl
Ganesh eye.
Fiji Island eye from an wooden statue.
The same eye under another perspective and light.
Is all this any good ?
Very creative usage of the reversed kit lens and nice out of the box thinking!

I have a correction to make.
I wrote that the the 2 last pictures were from "Fiji Island eye from an wooden statue".
It is not true because they belong to Kenian's Massai shepherd wooden statue, 35 cms height.
A detail.
Dave, thank you, nice entry!
This is the eye of my sister's beagle. This is close to a 100% crop.
50mm, 1/60 sec., f/2.8, iso 200

Welcome to dgrin!
Thank you for the entry!
I must say, it looks a bit oof. Any eye (a real one) is a challenging object to photograph, I would suggest closing aperture a bit, otherwise you most likely going to miss it, even if by a hair...
That little dog surely was a difficult object to photograph. He'd never sit still long enough to get a good shot.:bash I'll give it another try.

Well, after shooting a bunch. I think these are the best.
Nikkor 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/60 sec., f/8, iso 500
Sigma 18-50mm @ 50mm, 1/90 sec., f/2.8, iso 500

First one still looks soft, but #2 is definitely beter.
Thanks! The Nikkor 70-300mm is a little soft @300mm...oh,well. Shooting an eye is harder than I thought it was gonna be. Thanks for the challenge.:D

My first posting in the Assignment. My girl's brown eye taken by a window with diffused off camera flash. I don't have any macro lens so had to use an old +4 close-up filter (back from the days of film SLR Canon A-1). Still had to crop off about 66% (from 3504x2336 to 2016x1344) then resized to 800x533.

Here's an old assignment I did for a digital art class combining two dissimilar things that relate to each other (there's an eye in it

I like the reflection you got... I didn't appreciate it as much until I tried it myself
P.S. For those of you watching the monthly assignment thread... give me a bottle to shoot though and I can get all kinds of reflections! :P
Thank you!
And I love the old shot. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it looks great anyway!
I wonder whose eye is this?
