I deleted the original pictures I had here and am replacing them with the same ones that I posted on page 2 of the thread

This is my daughter's eye I took a few months ago.

Yours just inspired me to try for a better one of my eye

Did you take a picture of your whole face and then crop it? Or did you manage to get JUST your eye in the frame?

Awww... thanks!

I managed to get just the eye in the frame. I used my extension tubes and my 50mm f1.8. Set the viewscreen to live focus and used a mirror to see the screen while I manually focused. I used my wired trigger to pop the shutter when I thought I had it right. I shot A TON of these. Probably 100+ and got 3 or 4 I thought were worth keeping.

Try it! It's pretty fun actually...:thumbup:

Don't forget to post the results!
And don't get discouraged right at the outset, I very nearly gave up after 5 exposures, but I persevered!

Horrible quality, but it's kind of grown on me.
