Structure: Moving 4K close-ups shot at up to 1000x magnification

District 7 Media owner Drew Geraci recently published a short film titled "Structure" that takes viewers on an up-close journey inside everyday objects. The video was shot with a Sony A9 camera, as well as an AmScope Microscope with a camera attachment, Kessler Second Shooter control unit with a Stepper Motor, and Manfrotto Lykos Lights.

Geraci uploaded the video to Vimeo, where he explains that "Structure" presents organic objects magnified up to 1000x. Those objects include a variety of fruit, bell pepper seeds, mushrooms, carbonated water, soap bubbles, beet leaf, and more.

Everything was shot in 4K using the Sony A9, according to Geraci's video description, where he explains that the process took place over 30 days, after which the shots were edited into the two minute video using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018 and After Effects CC 2018. In describing the inspiration for "Structure," Geraci said:

It all started with a single shot—a small frozen snowflake I captured using a 100mm macro lens. I’ve shot plenty of macro photography in the past, but for some reason this image ignited my imagination and passion to shoot. So I did what any sane person would do—bought a microscope with camera capabilities and started to shoot everyday objects at 1000x+ magnifications.

This iconic still life photo was shot at f/240... for 6 hours!

Editor's Note: The video contains a fine art nude print that is spoken about starting at 7:50 and appears in the background throughout most of the video from that point on. Potentially NSFW. What's the smallest aperture you've ever used? F22? Maybe the max you'll find on some large format lenses: F64?

Video: Those 'Shot on iPhone' ads are not what they seem

Anybody who knows about the technique and gear involved in capturing great photos and video knows to look at those 'shot on *insert smartphone here*' ads with a bit of skepticism. Yes, they were technically shot on those phones, but many people don't realize the amount of extra gear and software that goes into the final product. dpreview.com »
