I have been sick the past few days, and last night, I had the urge to shoot a little, but I sure as heck wasn’t going anywhere. So, I tried ‘self eye macros’, which aren’t particularly easy. Luckily, the OM-D and 60mm macro have pretty good autofocus, so I set up my camera on a tripod, placed a flashgun on RF trigger to the side, so I could illuminate the texture of the iris, positioned my eye dead center on the lens, and pressed the button. Took a few tries to find the right distance for high magnification, but success! I need to work a little on where to position the light in order to avoid the reflection of my eyelid and eyelashes in the eyeball, but that’s for another day.
Nice job, Jordan! It’s hard to make a good shot of an eye. The lighting really did a good job of showing the texture, like you had hoped.
