I was anxious to read this thread, as I've got the same deal here with Faith. Maddie reflects the orange/red and she has a cotton coat. Libby has a silky coat and reflects green. Faith just never has either color showing up in the pictures and like you, I take of all of them with a flash. The other two I have to use the red eye fixer, but with Faith, hers are always black/brown. |

The reason why there is red eye for people and the eye shine in dogs has to do with the flash. . As the pupils dilate from the flash of light, it causes red eye or the eye effect in dogs. That is why many cameras have a setting for red eye with flash, but it really can't be used with animals or kids. With red eye flash, the camera emits quick flashes of light which helps the eyes adjust from darkness to flashes of light. Moving the flash further from the lens helps a lot if you have an external flash. Usually with animals, I bounce the flash off of the ceiling, and that allows me to keep the eyes dark. I really think Jenny might be right about Jesse with his eyes. He may be looking toward you, but his eyes may not be completely directly on the camera lens. I may be completely wrong about this, but I know the pupils dilating in response to adjusting from darkness to the flashes of light causes the red eye effect and the strange eyes in animals. With a point and shoot camera, you usually don't have the option of off camera flash but you can possibly try to increase the lighting in the room and allowing Bailey to get adjusted to the light before you take photos if you want to reduce this effect. |
You can also see the eye shine of a yorkie in a darkened room. Or, if you get light across the eye just right, usually from a side angle, not straight on, you can get a glimpse of yorkie eye shine. And, it does stand true, a emerald green eye shine will be a silk coat, shades of amber will be a softer coated yorkie. |
I'm sure I took many pics like this before, but I will have to take a pic of Jesse in low light with flash and make sure he is looking directly at the camera, I'm curious to see now! :) With Bailey I notice his eyes flash a lot when light hits them in a darkened room! |
I'm really curious now. The room doesn't have to be dark to get red eye, but it does occur less in rooms that are lit by the sun. The preflashes in red-eye flash mode does help to reduce the effect, but by the time the camera does the preflashes, you will miss the shot with kids and animals. No matter what, your photos of your little boys are always beautiful, just like them. |
