September Photo Project: The Eyes have it

John's given me the go ahead to get the project up and running. So, I decided to listen to my public and go with Michael's idea. I suspect he has something up his sleeve. Let's see what ya got :thumbsup:
Have fun.

Just for clarification.... portraits focusing mainly upon the subject's eyes or are all portraits allowed?

When it comes to the projects, there really aren't any set rules. Post anything that you think fits in the "theme" of the project. It could be a portrait, it could be something with the letter I in it... It all depends on how you interpret the theme. At least that's how I have always aproached the projects.

This guy's eyes spoke sadness to me. That is why I took the picture.

How about Annette Mason's eyes ?

never mind the hand, where are his eyes going ?

I said cars have eyes, the Citroen DS has cross-eyes.
The inner headlamps steer with the wheels.
An innovation years ahead of its time, taken today in adaptive beam shaping lights.

Yes, you do have an unfair advantage :)

Nicely done, I suppose product photos are a bit like portraiture with the control of lighting and background that you need for a shot like this.

P.S. we missed you today.

EXACTLY !

You created your own background.
You used bounce flash.
You were in control :)

Only a snapshot with the LZ5, no DSLRs were hurt taking this :D

I spotted a small dapple of light, and interrupted Mike.
"Up a bit, right, a bit, left a bit, down a little."
Finally I got his head in the right place to put the highlight on his eyes.

But did it work?
Alison?
If you'd been there you could have told me on the spot.

That's actually very good Paul. Were you having a discussion about me while you were taking this shot? I can hear you now, "If Ali were here..." LOL. Bless ya!
The catchlights and clarity in the eyes are superb!
Am I correct in assuming you weren't using your 50mm?
