My dogs eyes are green.
Dec 22, 2014 21:08:03 #
I take photo's of my dog and some photo's he has green eyes and some do not. I can't not figure out what I need to change. Any suggestion would be great. I have a Nikon D610 using a 24-120 lens I'll post one with green eyes and the other has a hint of green in one eye.
I want to also thank all of your for your help I have learned very much for I am an amateur. I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas.

That's funny!!
Your dog has redeye, only its greeneye, not redeye!!
Nyht, actually, welcome to the Hog!
Seriously, you asked what to change? You deserve a real explanation.
I apologize for the ham remark(I have trouble avoiding those!).
First it's the reflection of the dogs retinas reflecting light back at you. As I understand it, in animals, especially those that have good night vision and especially if they see in B&W the rods and cones of the eye are more prevalent and reflect more light than do our own eyes. It becomes a specular highlight of sorts, and when using a flash, if the flash is pointed straight at the eye, it will reflect the light straight back at you just like a mirror would. If the dog is looking slightly in a different direction, the light, just like a mirror, comes back at a slightly different direction and does not enter the lens, so produces no greeneye(in your case).
To prevent the effect, use one hand to creat a movement and get the dog to not look straight at you while you flash the shot. Or just like people photographers do, use an off camera flash. It creates just enough change of angle that the reflected light does not enter the lens, thus no greeneye!
The flash mounted on a P&S is so close to in line with the lens that redeye is a constant problem when a subject is looking straight at you.
OR, get your dog some sunglasses, that will work as well! :lol:

It's pet "red eye" and a easy fix in almost all programs. The angle of your shot causes this. The first is almost directly on and the second is slightly above.

Plus, I'm seeing a pattern here.
When his mouth is open his eyes are green!
When his mouth is closed they are not!
Hmmm, interesting! :lol:

What would you bet that his tongue changes color when his mouth is shut? :wink:

That makes sense I appreciate your explanation of what is happening. I will try to off camera flash and maybe no flash at all and see what results I can come up with now that I know what is causing it. Thanks: I'll check on the sunglasses lol

Thanks I do see what you mean by angle. I will give the red eye program a try and see how I do.

White sunglasses would be awesome if your four-legged friend would be agreeable.
