365 Photos, Day 1: Only the Eye In Focus

I’m adding a new feature to my blog.

WebGuy and I just found a renewed interest in photography — something we can do together. For instance, I went back to the most recent place, a county fair, where I judged Quilts. We both took cameras — I have a DSLR and WebGuy uses a 35mm film SLR and an iPhone. We can take the same pictures and have them turn out differently. We’re going to use a point-and-shoot camera, our cell phone cameras, an iPad camera and a Holga during the year.

I’ll share photos that we’ve taken recently, and ones we took a looooong time ago in this portion of the blog.

What I want to do today is share with you what we started yesterday — 365 Photos. We each picked topics to shoot and each day, the challenge is to take a photo of the topic of the day. Here are today’s photos.

Our topic is: “An eye that is totally clear, using depth of field”.

Here is WebGuy’s:

Here is Mine:

and here’s a bonus shot that we both set up. (It took both us of to corral Piper. She got a cookie for being a good model)

I think it’s amazing that her eyes are the same color as her coat.

Why the eye?

Eye’s are incredibly beautiful and unique. Did you know that no two eyes are the same, just like snowflakes? It’s true. The patterns in our eyes are all unique. Some look like layers of tissue, others like rock formations. I have a dot in mine.
