Macro Eye

 

 

I really like shooting macro shots of eye’s and making the eye’s detail jump out. One of the best ways of doing this is with selective colour.

 

This shot was taken with my Sony A200, Minolta 100mm macro lens @ f18. The below diagram shows the setup.

I made a background copy layer in Photoshop, added a layer mask and painted out the eyes. Once done, I selected the eyes and upped the saturation, vibrancy and contrast. Job done.
