Eyeshine

[tempast2003]

Tapetum lucidum. This causes animal eyes to glow in the dark when hit by lights like our flashlight, it also stuns the animal that's why you get the phrase "Deer in Headlights." I know the hunter trys to be realistic, well this is definatly a real thing and I don't see our animals having it.

Also the eyes look very eerie and quite beautiful as well when they light up.

It is also how the cops find you if you try to hide.

Our eyes don't glow in the dark like that. That is a trate of nocturnal animals.

You are wrong. Deer are not nocturnal animals any more than I am. It is the trait of the eye, not sleeping patterns. Just wet in the eyes reflect.

Maybe they don't heve the problem of red eyes on photos on your planet.

BeerMan i think you need another cold one... It's not wetness in the eyes. My family are compsed of Opthomalagist, surgeons at that. Trust me on this one bro.


The effect is also why where I live it is considered poaching to hunt them at night. It gives an unfair advantage. I have spotlighted Whiitetail in my backyard at night also, Though I wouldn't shoot them at night as it is illegal here. But they glow like a beacon.

I said JUST THE WET. That means even that smal part of it reflects. Stop grasping after straws, and i dont care about your parants.

You are wrong, and unable to understand my post. Red eyes in photos prove that you are wrong. Yet you chose to ignore that.

No sir, you are incorrect, I'm sure any other real hunter like myself here, could easily put this debate to rest.

And I said family, not parent fyi. I have inlaws and outlaws, Im well past the young ages.

haha, so you need to be a hunter to observe humans? I bet you were born in 2003.

"The red-eye effect in photography is the common appearance of red pupils in color photographs of eyes. It occurs when using a photographic flash very close to the camera lens (as with most compact cameras), in ambient low light. The effect appears in the eyes of humans, and of animals that have tapetum lucidum"

At no point did I say red-eye from camera flash is not a thing. What I said is that Whitetail deer eyes glow because of an effect known as Eyeshine that is the result of something known as Tapetum lucidum which occurs in nocturnal animals.

Flashlights in human eyes do not reflect light. Camera flash produces an effect on pictures that cause red-eye.

Where you may have gotten confused is when I replied to your comment about police finding suspects at night hiding in bushes because of red-eye. Now I'm sure police would be able to spot people at night much more easily if there eyes glowed like a Deer's eyes, but they don't.

No you ignored the red eyes and went straight for what you thought was a weak point. Making the false argument that I claimed that is was about wet eyes.

[BeerMan]

Tapetum lucidum is what makes the eyes glow, and humans have tapetum lucidum.

We have nothing close the dark vision of a cat or deer, but if you are looking for somone in complete darkness using a flashlight....

Thats exactly what I said our eyes don't glow in the dark. Its a trate of nocturnal animals that occurs do to Tapetum lucidum. Nocturnal animals can pick up lower traces of light to help them see more clearly at night. When light hits the eyes like that of a spotlight, it reflects from the back of the retna producing a glow.

Dude humans don't have Tapetum lucidum. If you had Tapetum lucidum you would be able to see in the dark very well.

There is an oddball case of some child in India (I think the child is in India, though I could be wrong) that can see in the dark, this child probably has Tapetum lucidum, though that is astronomically rare and possibly the first time anything like this has ever been recorded.

Its all good bro, my original post was to see if the devs may consider adding the effect for our nocturnal animals.
