pyanek · Feb 20, 2015

Hi everyone!

I would like to share my series of macro photography of everyday objects LOOK CLOSER

I originally made a longer version, scored with different music titled Amazing Worlds Within Our World which you can watch here:

I hope you like it!!!!

some really great shots in there.

The short video is good. Nice shots. Clear text.

Sorry, but the long video was painfully slow and trying to read the text was quite hard.

Thanks Braineack and waday!

Hahaha well actually the first video had more success and some people told me the short version is kinda crap in comparison! To each his own I say

Wow, very nice! What equipment are you using here?

Heather Koch · Feb 20, 2015

And I agree short video is ten times better! The fast paced music helps also.

Thanks Heather!!! I use a Canon T3i with the kit lens reversed, and a tripod. The rest is improvised, mostly natural light and long exposures

Nice. I have a couple on my Flickr page (lens cap & mini flashlight)

Well done, I enjoyed that. There were a couple I had absolutely no idea about; what is an 'X' key?

As an aside, have you considered focus stacking? It will be tricky using your set-up, but it looks you're only working with the native DoF in these shots, and while the whole scene doesn't need to be tack sharp, I think a few of them would have benefited greatly from a greater DoF.
