Would it be possible to use a polarizer filter to get rid of the light reflection?

[@danipez770]

What a nice brown eye

[@TheCoralClimb]

What is the best way to export after you're happy with the end result please?

[@MatthewGPhotography]

File - export - quick export as PNG

[@cristalcollinge7713]

If I exported like that would that be good enough quality / hi resolution for a large print?

[@WhiteFox-uk]

@@MatthewGPhotography Would this be how you export it to be professionally printed via a lab?

Hi Matthew, great video and editing technique ! Maybe I haven´t heard it, but what's software you are using ? Photoshop ? or Capture One ? LR ? many many thx

[@MatthewGPhotography]

Thank you! I use photoshop :)

[@Zebrajellyfishphoto]

Nice work. Creating a template would also speed up the process. Then you only need to drop in an almost finished iris.

Hello, I use Canon R6 and I want to take iris macro photos. To capture more detail in the iris, I need to take a larger iris photo. Canon rf 100mm? Have you tried connecting Canon EF 100mm + extension tube?

[@MatthewGPhotography]

I’ve never actually tried an extension tube. I use a 100mm macro lens in this video and it seemed to do the job just fine. Of course, the closer you can get, the more detail you’ll get. I don’t see why an extension tube wouldn’t benefit you in this situation

[@cevdetgunduz5314]

@@MatthewGPhotography Did you take the photos from a distance of 0.3m, which is the minimum focusing distance of the EF 100mm lens?

[@MatthewGPhotography]

@@cevdetgunduz5314 couldn't tell you the exact distance but it was probably about that. I focused all the way to the left and moved the camera till the eye was tack sharp

[@CZOV]

And this is how NASA does it :)

[@MatthewGPhotography]

I had a funny feeling they watch my videos

[@marbogbr]

Made easy 🤣🤣

[@MatthewGPhotography]

As easy as I could make it without ££££ of equipment!

[@jonathanray6130]
