Eyes

For this photo, we had to photograph an eye. I chose to photograph my mom’s eye, since it has two different colors. I used my smallest lens so I could get closer up. I feel like even the macro lens wasn’t able to get as close as I hoped, so if I could take this again with an even shorter lens I would definitely try. After I took the photo, I edited it a bit in Photoshop. First, I cropped it so that the eye took up more space in the photo. Then, I used blend modes to adjust the lighting. I used the “screen” blend mode to brighten up the image. I applied an additional “scren” blend mode to just the eye, as a way to help it stand out and look brighter.
