Look at our web-site www.cleelofts.co.uk the eyes I took were with a digital camera only costing about £150 . I took them on a nice sunny day.

Never tried taking pics of eyes before but i think most digital cameras have a MACRO mode. don't know what it means but it is for extreme close ups like insects and stuff but you are supposed to use a tripod or you could put the camera on a table top and set the self timer otherwise you will get camera shake. Then get behind the camera and look at the screen so you know the eye is in the correct position. As for lighting i know nothing but you don't want shadows from your fingers across the eye.
