Fun fact some may find disturbing, when you see a red-eye photo you're actually looking at the inside of the person's eyeballs. Red-eye in photos happens when a camera flash reflects off the back of the eye, specifically the choroid, a layer rich in blood vessels behind the retina. When the flash is too quick for the pupil to contract, the light enters the eye and bounces off this red tissue, giving you a great picture of the inside of their eyeballs. I hope everyone enjoys knowing that as much as I have.

Millennial here, have taken plenty of pictures during the end of the demon uprising in the mid-late 90s. It went on for a while.
Millenials grew up going into a store to have photos developed from film.
How, uh, young do you think millennial are exactly? Pretty much all of us were around for cameras before phones.
I had a super cool N64 film camera that I took with me to sleepovers and took lots of shitty photos with because I was a dumbass kid that didn't know anything about photography.
SATANIC PANIC!!!
I hope I did not spark a generational rift here, I only wanted to share a funny meme I found.
You done fucked up. There is no wrath like a millennial accused of being young.
You’re fine. Millennials love to remind people that they are in fact middle aged, while acting offended about it. Source: am millennial.
Thank you for contributing content to lemmy, and sparking engagement to boot.
Yeah, everyone younger than your generation is a young whippersnapper who doesnt know the olden days. We got that.
I, Gen Z, am old enough too remember the red eyes on photos? What is this trying to say xd
That people make shit up.
Wait, do digital cameras not do the red eye effect? Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a photo with red eye in it in a long time, but I had always assumed that was a consequence of the camera flash, not the film...
Edit: TIL that camera redeye does come from the flash, but it hasn't been much of a thing these days because today's phones/cameras adjust the flash timing to compensate. Thanks for the replies!
Hardly anyone takes photos with a flash anymore.
Phones instead crank up the sensitivity and use AI to get rid of the noise (=draw an image that vaguely resembles what's in front of the camera).
The sensors themselves are also slightly better than 20 years ago, much less 40. Meaning they can probably produce a nicer image before all the AI shit.
It was the flash. That's why cameras flash earlier now.
Oh god , remember the anti red eye flash that strobed for a second before the flash?
I still don’t understand how that worked. At the time I thought it was “getting your eyes used to the bright light so they wouldn’t turn red with the big flash,” but that definitely doesn’t make sense.
With film cameras, you got me. No clue. I always wondered though.

I understood it as the red eyes you see in photos is the wide open iris of an eye you're photographing zooming in on the blood vessels in the back of the eye. Flashing bright light before the photo makes the iris of the person you're photographing contract significantly, so you can't see the blood vessels in the back of the eye anymore.
Families wouldn't know demons walked among them until the photos were produced. Usually by then the demon clued in and left its host without a trace before it could be exorcised.
Millennials are old enough to remember analog cameras and photos of people with red eyes. Man, people need to update their definition of which generation is “young.”
im 40. im a millenial.
...im old
<.<
"Millenials" just means "people younger than me" now.
And at the same time, “boomer” means anyone over 50, somehow. Soon I will be a boomerlennial.
Even the digitals you had in the 00's didn't have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
I distinctly remember the first digicams to be worse than analogue in this regard
The oldest millennials are in their early 40s now but to boomers they will always be teens.
