Got Time to Spare? Redden Thine Eyes.

Posted by: Rachel Hulin Posted date: August 28, 2008 | 2 Comments

Ohhh, good morning, my friends. Clayton Cubitt turned me on to these ten camera hacks yesterday, and I’ve been fascinated since.

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather, so it seems apropos to post the Rebecca Hinden‘s red eye camera; this one actually encourages red eyes. I like it. It makes my current look all the rage.

you can do it with a disposable camera.

(here’s the process. this in itself seems like a work of art to me.)

If you want to go for the big guns….

you can do it with a 4×5.

Always protect your subject’s eyes….

et voilà:

verry nice.

Go to Rebecca Hinden‘s site to see more cool stuff.

And now, friends, a challenge for you: send me your very best red eye picture. We’ll do a little gallery. Here’s mine:

Very Buffy the Vampire Slayer, no?

Very cool, especially coming from Clayton. Is there anything he isn’t good at? Perhaps restraint…

While I am second to none in my admiration for a good hack, I don’t understand why this one is necessary. Red-eye is caused by, well, by the laws of optics. Two things have to happen to cause it. If those things are both happening, you WILL get red-eye. If they aren’t, you won’t. While I see what she’s done and how it would increase red-eye, it seems like a lot of work to go to for something that isn’t that hard to do. Incidentally, that big black cylindrical thing in the pictures is a capacitor, and the capacitor in a disposable camera has more than enough juice to knock you on your ass if you touch it while it’s charged. A word to the wise. :) M
