Red Eye effect<->Telephoto lens!

Hi all! Recently, I was taking some shots in a function (The organizers of the function requested me to photograph the activities in the function). In the question hour session, I was photographing a young boy who was asking question. He was about 8 meters away from me and I was using PENTAX SMC

Ayash, You understand that red-eye because you show the illumination of the red blood vessels at the rear of the eyeball in your photo. You can do this at any distance if your flash and lens are close enough. It is actually easier to get/have red-eye with long lenses because the effective an

Hi Bob ... I'm glad that you're not my doctor! Your post is partially correct. Our blood is red. The blood that flows in the veins id a darker red because the oxygen in the cells has been exhausted, i.e., it's used blood. The blood in arteries is a bright red, as it's freshly oxygenated. You

Hmm. Maybe it's unusual that my cat gets red-eye. Is it also unusual for cats to speak, levitate and turn their heads 360 degrees? Maybe I should stop eating those mushrooms I find in the woods ... > > My cat is green eyed, and gets wicked cases of "green-eye effect" when she's > posing directly

The red eye is caused by the angle off the lens axis of the flash. At 1 meter the shoe mount flash is maybe 15 degrees off the axis, at 8 meters it is only one ot two degrees off axis. Very much the same as using the RTF at closer distances. In fact at longe distances you can even get red eye with

Hi, I'm no doctor (trust me), but isn't it the case that mammalian blood is not red but blue when it's in the veins? It only turns red when it oxidises (eg when it comes out of your veins). This would suggest that red-eye is not a reflection off blood vessels, but off the retina itself, which is

Hi, Human blood is red. Tending towards scarlet when it has oxygen attached, tending towards crimson when deoxygenated. It is this redness of the general tissue which gives red eye. The reason most cats (try photographing Siameses) give green eye is that they have an additional layer (the tape
