Seeing Color

Photo by: Colby Knowlton

In this photograph for our macro assignment, before being edited I was going for different parts of the eye in focus, in this case the eyelashes were my main focus. I tried to get different angles of the eye from high, low, and side views so that it gave the picture an interesting touch. I also had to make sure that my shutter speed and aperture were at the right settings so that I would get the right amount of detail while using a macro lens on a 300mm lens. Getting into the Photoshop work, I wanted the eye color and eyelashes to pop the most so I changed and brightened up the color of the eye and used the doge tool darken the eyelashes. Overall I’m very happy with how my picture turned out.
