Project 365 - Day 63 - I'm keeping an eye on the internet

Okay, so I went ahead and attempted the self-eye-portrait again.  It was pretty successful.  I turned my 24-70 into a macro lens with the extension tubes.  It's a better piece of glass, so it allowed a better shot than my 60mm.  I had it out to 70mm and used a tripod and remote release cable to trip the shutter.  I think I went through about 50 shots on manual focus before I got a couple of reasonably good ones.  I was using an off camera flash as well.  It was tough, but I got it..

Here's the shot...


Obviously, I changed it to black and white.  The flash lit some stuff on the table in front of me, so you can see that in the bottom of the eye.
