Got Time to Spare? Redden Thine Eyes.

Got Time to Spare? Redden Thine Eyes.

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….

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?

    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
