The Eyes Have It
By J.L. Sofka
1 Oct 2010
There is a National Geographic cover which features a now somewhat iconic photo of a young Afghani girl whose eyes are simply unforgettable. This kind of razor sharp image is what I try to achieve. So in human or animal portraits, I follow the advice given to me by a professional photographer and try first and foremost to get the eyes in focus. Here are some of my best animal images.
Taken with a Nikon D90 and either a Sigma 70-300mm zoom or Nikon 18-200mm zoom.
