Stunning eye photos with your orbis® ringflash

“Whoa whoa, back it up!”- the most likely response if you try to gaze deep into someone’s eyes. Instead of scaring people away, ask to take a macro eye photo!
Eyes are amazing, they change colours in different lighting but they’re rarely lit well enough to see the complexity of colours and detail. That’s why macro photography is so fun because it reveals what you can’t see with the naked eye.
Equipment used: Canon EOS 1D Mk III, Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro lens, orbis® ringflash with Canon Speedlight 430EXII. Exposure of 1/250 sec at f/5.6.

Every now and then something happens so cool that it makes me want to hop on a plane, travel around the world and rub myself against a wall.
