eye contact
press 'L' to embiggen in the dark
i shot this with the canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM macro plus a marumi close-up +4 filter, using EOS utility's remote live view. you can see the reflection of my eye in the software window on the monitor.
you can also see my contact lens.
i started out trying one of those super-close-ups of the iris, but it really isn't that interesting so i backed off.

with the right equipment and remote live view, no... you control your camera from the computer.
but you also have to support your head so that it doesn't move around :-D
