        You ever see a striking landscape, try to get a picture with your phone, and just end up with disappointing garbage? Everyone has. Are you just an awful photographer? Maybe. But you're also an impossible camera that uses an impossible lens. Your phone isn't quite so interesting. And I'm not just talking about the normal specs (resolution, sensor size, dynamic range, etc.). No, there's a much deeper reason why no camera can match your eye. Three reasons, actually: 

1. Focal Length
2. Depth of Field
3. A secret that you're just gonna have to watch the whole video to find out

Turns out, you do some crazy things to see the world the way you do, and there's no way any camera (or screen, for that matter) can ever show you the world exactly the way you see it. 

Whether you're a camera enthusiast or someone who's never heard of an aperture before, you'll see things differently after watching this one.
