Look at this one, "I have a wife," oooOOOOooo

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago

She hates me so it kinda evens out.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I too choose this person's wife's eye

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can have it…I’ll mail it to you. What’s your address?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Can I have the other one?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Dangit, you beat me to it!

Enjoy! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I knew a girl in high school who would say "Don't do anything I would do."

It’s important to be honest about yourself lmao.

Big sister is watching you

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Enormous sibling is viewing you.

Someone has a fancy AI thesaurus

You may want to give her the Voight-Kampff test, to be on the safe side...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nahhh, sleeping with a replicant is like my biggest dream...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

What if it turns out she is a Cylon instead?

If you don't mind me asking, how did you take it? I've tried taking similar photos a few times, but I'm getting too many reflections, even with a polarising filter.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This was taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max using the default camera, and edited with the default photos app. The macro mode on this phone is impressive.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, wow! I'm genuinely impressed by that. I've been trying to do it with a 'proper' camera and failing miserably.

I'm just going to sit here and be jealous for a while 😆

You’ll need a dedicated macro lens to achieve true macros. This isn’t a true macro, but the fusion camera on the new iPhones is a great tool. I am pleased with the results I’ve been seeing from it.

I'd love to see a second photo showing how this photo was taken. I bet it was a bit awkward.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Eyes are such alien structures... I can only look at them close-up for a moment before it gets too creepy. I mean, holy shit, this thing sees.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're so strange! Like, what's all that going on in there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly jelly

Thanks - stealing your wife's Bitcoin wallet now

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Jokes on you she only has Doge in there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if I could unlock her phone with this?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

We tried without success. Face ID requires more than just a retina to unlock.

I remember trying to take a similar picture of my own eye with an DSLR and learning that this close the depth of field was so narrow that if I focus on the surface of the eyeball, the iris would be out of focus. Never before that had I really thought about the fact that there's depth to it. This is really impressive for an iPhone shot.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

You really need a dedicated macro lens for this type of shot with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. My phones camera lens was nearly touching her eye and made getting the perfect shot difficult.

Be careful because Sam altman might steal it for his worldcoin bs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's one fine cornea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

She got them limbal rings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dudes, she is afraid
