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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 hours ago

She hates me so it kinda evens out.

I wonder if I could unlock her phone with this?

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

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

I too choose this person's wife's eye

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

Can I have the other one?

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Jokes on you she only has Doge in there.

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