Beautiful Hawaii - Aerial & Macro

Featured Wednesday, 06 June 2018 16:19

A totally new kind of video for me - I hope you LIKE it!

I have added some full res X1D files from this trip up at  http://www.mattgranger.com/x1d

The video and stills for this video were all taken in beautiful Oahu Island. I got the idea for this concept some time ago - it occurred to me that a fabulously detailed Macro photograph can almost become an abstract when you focus on the small details rather than the whole. The same is true when you see 'the whole' from a birds eye view - landscapes look foreign and things become abstracted.

I thought that pairing these two could tell an interesting story - especially as the super high resolution from the Hasselblad X1D and 120mm macro lens allow me to add movement and crop heavily into the images after taking them.

You can check out the Hasselblad X1D:
