One of the things I can't help myself from doing is taking pictures of my eyes while I'm flying from place to place. I think it's a combination of boredom and how excited I am with the idea of taking pictures of places and things I have never seen before.
On some levels, I'm not certain why I like this particular picture so much. I can see the red mark on my nose from where my glasses usually sit, the eyebrows that I should have plucked before going on vacation, the dark circles under my eyes. Even still, I think it's a pretty interesting shot. I love the colour of my eyes and how the light coming in the window is reflected in them. Really, it just seems like the me I always see when I look in the mirror.

Oh, is the other picture of an eye in your apartment also your eye? I didn't realise you had taken it yourself. That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteAnna - Your eyes are beautiful! I love taking pics of eyes too, only because I cant ever see, to get them to be clear - I guess you use a macro lens or something???
ReplyDeleteYeah, my camera has an automatic macro that works fairly well from at least 5 cm away from the target object. I end up with many pictures of my eyes on flights mainly because I'm bored, but also because I need to take several to get the focus to work the way I want to. It's a lot easier to take macros of flowers because you can see through the viewfinder before you press the button! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah and Sonya for the comments... I do hope you're enjoying my blog. :)
