FYI: Eyes in Pictures - Red Spots


All of us wonder why do eyes in some pictures have red spots on them? If you look like Dracula in a picture. blame the flash of the cam. The red spot on the eyes is the red color from the blood vessels that nourish the eye.

The eyes look red because light from the flash is reflected to the camera lens from the blood vessels in the retinas. The flash unit is located every wear of the lens when the flash goes off, some light goes straight into the eyes of the subject and is reflected right back into the lens.


So if you don't want to see those red eyes, avoid looking directly at the lens during picture taking.
