Beach close-ups (cc)

Taken by Dunstan Orchard.

This time with CC music from WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

Since people are asking: • I shot this using the macro movie mode on my Ricoh GRD2. • I desaturated it in iMovie to give it a more cinematic look. • The camera didn’t get wet at the end. I plucked it out of the way of the wave at the last moment.

(I’ve removed the rather rude comments on this video. If the remaining comments seem to be referencing something that’s not there, that’s why.)

I de-saturated it in iMovie, which is one of the reasons that it looks different. I also shot it in macro mode, which gives it that nice dof.

The composition reminds me of Gladiator, when Maximus is running his hands through the tall grass.
