Hey, I’m a new listener from iTunes and I like your show, I just wish there was a bit more technical information in it. I also have a comment about the red eye reduction mode and how it works.
First, red eye is caused by light reflecting straight off the back of the eye’s retina. It gets worse the larger the pupil (the black part) is. Therefore to shrink the pupil, the camera bombards the eye with light which shrinks the pupil and will sometimes remove the red eye and other times make it smaller.
Other ways to reduce red eye is to not take a picture with a flash straight on and instead angle the persons head slightly so the light from the flash doesn’t bounce straight back to your camera. Also, on some DSLRs, you can use a different flash that is higher up off the camera. That way the light hits the back of the eye at an angle and does not bounce back the same way and you won’t get red eye.
If you can’t do any of these things or forget, you can also always post process the red eye out.
Christopher,
thanks for the tip! Sorry for the lack of technical information, but I try to keep this on an as non-techie level as possible. You might want to heck out the other photography related podcasts such as “Secrets of Digital Imaging” (see the web site’s photography links section) for more technical stuff.
Cheers,
Chris
