Website: Macroroom

Published February 25, 2017

Have you ever paid attention to your mum cutting the vegetables or observed how a knife cuts through a fruit. Perhaps never. But there is a science behind every action. For such an experience, you don’t need to cut or observe things using special cameras and high-end lenses, Macroroom.com, a site that observes things so close, does it for you.

With absolutely no ads to annoy you, the site justifies its purpose of showing the details of everyday instances in macro in less than two minutes of videos, which range from melting, to cutting to mixing the colours, etc.

You may have experienced your ice-cream melting on a hot summer’s day, but of course had never seen its molecules melting from so close. Macroroom offers you a chance to see ice-creams, popsicles or ice melting in macro time-lapse video.

You can go through a lot of everyday things in super macro (using several lenses and of course complex editing) and be amazed at what the magnified object will turn out to be when it is zoomed in, in ‘Everyday objects in macro’.

Or if you want to see the how things look after being cut in half, such as seashell, camera, shoe, gel stick, fruits and see the tinniest details of their inside, go through the section ‘Things cut in half’. There are other interesting categories too.

The site also offers visitors the chance to download free wallpapers, created from their macro videos, with of course the tinniest details being zoomed in. The creators also seek suggestions from visitors of new ideas for them to try out too.

The site is still working on its content so they don’t offer loads of videos, but provide a few quality videos and promises to share new ones soon.
