How do can i take a close-up of an eye?
I am a A2 student and i am having alot of trouble taking pictures of eyes. i have seen all over the internet beautiful eye with alot of detail and colour. I have tryed to take ones like this my self but have had no luck. could it be the lense im using? i have been using my camera set to macro but have had no luck because when ever i get close to the eye to take the picture the camera will not focus. please help me and thankyou 
Best way to do it is to use a lens that can focus REAL close. Most of these are called MACRO lenses. Some telephoto lenses also have a macro setting (Like the Sigma 70-300). The problem with focusing so close is that your camera will be blocking most of the light going to your face. To compensate for this, you can buy a macro flash ... it's a flash that's mounted on the LENS. Looks like a ring of a ring with two little lights.
If you watch and CSI shows, they usually have one of those on their cameras when photographing a crime scene.
If you don't want to invest in a macro lens, you can buy maginification filters. They are basically little magnifying glasses that you can screw on to a normal lens ... they allow you to focus much closer to your subject. I bought a small kit of filters for like 50$.
Something else you can do is shoot as close up to the persons face as you can and then crop the eye ... if your camera has enough megapixels, you can still get a decent print from that.
