    • What is the naural color of irises in black and white (monochrome... B&W is old fashionned...) ? Great question ! In color photography irises are indeed red ! If not, what's the purpose of "red eyes removal" ? In real life I don't no they are any color they want IMO. Ericd (talk) 00:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • FWIW, red-eye has nothing to do with color photography; it happens with poor flash usage when light from the flash is reflected back into the camera with a red hue from behind the pupil (never the irises). A similar effect (with overly bright pupils) would occur in black-and-white photography. Thegreenj 20:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • This doesn't have the shape or location of a flash reflection, nor is it likely that large flash equipment would have been hauled through the Arabian desert in 1926. It's probably sunlight. And have a look at the remainder of his irises: he may have had blue eyes. DurovaCharge! 21:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
