Better Photo Tips – Flash Points
It is human nature when taking a photo of someone’s face to look them in the eye. Most built in flashes are only about 1 inch or so above the viewfinder that you look into; so if you are looking them in the eye AND they are looking you in the eye it stands to reason the flash is only about 1 inch above their eye level (even if it is further away). What causes red eye is simple enough; the light from your flash is reflecting off the back of your subject’s eye.
