Seeing Beyond the Human Eye | Off Book | PBS

Technology defies the boundaries of human perception. From photomicrography to astrophotography, size and distance are no longer barriers, and through slow-mo and timelapse, we are allowed to see time and humanity in a new light. Through our curiosity and thirst for the unknown, the beauty of the universe can now be explored beyond the limits of the naked eye.

love this series!

[NoQuo89]

If you took all these off books and turned them into a full fledged documentary, think about how awesome that would be :D

Call it like "The Hidden Arts" or "The Worlds Outside of Society." Just something to show what people are overlooking, like off-book is already doing! Please keep up the fantastic work!!!
