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

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 36 points 2 weeks ago

She hates me so it kinda evens out.

[–] WagnasT@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I too choose this person's wife's eye

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Can I have the other one?

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Dangit, you beat me to it!

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

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 9 points 2 weeks ago

It’s important to be honest about yourself lmao.

[–] Nino477@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Big sister is watching you

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Enormous sibling is viewing you.

Someone has a fancy AI thesaurus

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

What if it turns out she is a Cylon instead?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 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.

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly jelly

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.

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 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.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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 😆

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks - stealing your wife's Bitcoin wallet now

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 6 points 2 weeks ago

Jokes on you she only has Doge in there.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if I could unlock her phone with this?

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 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.

[–] nvrmetthegooch@infosec.pub 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

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's one fine cornea

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

She got them limbal rings.

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dudes, she is afraid
