i have brown eyes, but when ihave a photo taken, they turn red ! why?

Answer 1

its the devil inside you

Answer 2

The red color comes from light that reflects off of the retinas in our eyes. In many animals, including dogs, cats and deer, the retina has a special reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum that acts almost like a mirror at the backs of their eyes. If you shine a flashlight or headlights into their eyes at night, their eyes shine back with bright, white light.
Another way to reduce or eliminate "red eye" in pictures is to move the flash away from the lens. On most small cameras, the flash is only an inch or two away from the lens, so the reflection comes right back into the lens and shows up on the film. If you can detach the flash and hold it several feet away from the lens, that helps a lot. You can also try bouncing the flash off the ceiling if that is an option

Answer 3

The inside of your eye is red because of the blood vessels.
When a flash picture is taken the light goes through to the
back of your eye and, in turn, the white flash becomes red
light which is projected through your eye "lens" directly to
the camera and registered as red. Since the flash is usually
used only inside, your pupils are dilated, which turns the red
"eye effect" much greater. To avoid this, the flash has to be
off the axis of eye to camera, in other words held above or to
the side. Most cameras have a anti "red eye" pre-flash which
sends a burst of pre-flashes to your eye in order to close
the pupil as much as possible, this reduces the red-eye effect
but usually does not eliminate it altogether. Also, light coloured
eyes, blue or light green will show an accetuated affect, whereas
dark eyes have a lesser effect. Hope you understand, and turn
on the red eye eliminator on the camera which should help.

Answer 4

Mr.Right is 100% right on this one. If you are able to move the flash away from the lens this would take the 'red eye' error out of photographs. Also, if you are able to adjust the angle of the flash, and bounce it from a wall or the ceiling, this, too, would negate the 'problem'.

As many people have already stated, it is quite a simple process to correct the fault in many photo-editing packages.

Answer 5

This happens when a flash is used, it reflects off the blood vessels at the back of the eye. Use a flash that can be pointed away from the thing you are taking a photo of, and it won't happen. Or you can take your negatives into a camera shop to have them altered.

Answer 6

The flash and if the light is too bright your eyes turn red! Sorry! But if you have a digital camera... on the computer you can make the red eye go away. Or don't use the flash on your camera and you will be fine!

Answer 7

It is because of the photographer and the film they use. They use poor quality film and take pictures "dead on". What you are seeing is the light reflecting back at the camera (from the flash usually, though not always) from the retinas of your eyes. The red is literally the blood vessels at the back of the eye.

Answer 8

It's because of the flash.Most newer cameras have red eye reduction where it eliminates the red eye.You can also scan the picture into a photoshop program and erase the red eyes.

Answer 9

Its called red eye, it happens when the flash goes off on the camera. You can repair those photos with applications on the computer.

Answer 10

It's all of your blood vessels having the camera flash reflecting off them in your eye, straight back to the camera. Just try using a good camera to eliminate this effect.

Answer 11

Red eye is so common, digital programs have a way to take it out. Reflection off of eye.
