Have you ever noticed that your eyes appear red in pictures? You must give it a thought that what is the reason behind this. Though technology has ease the art of photography, but still the effect of red eyes still ruins of most favorite pictures. So, we have decided to figure out, what is the reason behind red eye effect. When we click picture in low light ambience, our pupil enlarge to let the light enter. When the flash of the light hit the eye, pupils of the eye don’t have enough time to constrict. Due to which the light entering your eyes reflects the red blood vessels of the choroid. It is a connective tissue of the back of eye. But you have the solution; you can remove this effect by looking at the nearest bulb just before clicking the picture. To reduce the red light effect modern camera are offering pre flash so that eye can get enough time to constrict and adapt. Reflection intensity varies from one person to another, depending on the size of the pupils and the age and eye color of an individual. People with light skin and blue or green eyes tend to have less melanin and may get red eyes in photos more often. The reflection effect varies from person to person, according to age, color of the eye and the size of the pupil. You must have also notices animal eyes green or blue in dark, this is due to tissue layer known as Tapetum Lucidum. This tissue is helpful for animals to see better in the dark. Kids will tend to get a red-eye effect more in comparison to adults. It is because a kid’s pupil will open faster than adults, in dim light situations. One useful technique is to move the flash away from the lens before clicking picture. It is helpful because it will increase the angle at which the light enters the eye, and reduce the chance it will reflect back to the camera lens.
