In Praise of Shooting Macro Videos

macro food video

Lately one of my new fun hobbies and passions in photography and video:

Shooting macro videos on my RICOH GR III of everyday stuff.

For example:

I say:

  1. Shoot videos uber-close (macro on RICOH GR III is really good) of anything of interest. Textures, food, flowers; it is all good.

CEREAL AND BANNANA WHEATIES MACRO BREAKFAST BOWL

BUMBLEBEE FLOWER MACRO

Or another fun video thing:

Find a scene you like, put the camera down, and just record it!

For example the other night recording a backyard stove oven grille fire (patio furniture) running on propane:

FIRE NATURE WILDERNESS AMBIENT SOUNDS

Or just record your meals with friends and family, and you can just mute the videos:

Why do I enjoy this so much?

FIRE FOOD

For me, it is about recollecting nice memories. To ‘recollect’ means to re+collect. To collect old memories again; isn’t this wonderful?
