You are in the minority
I think I've had maybe 2 people complain about the closeups. Most people like them so I'm gonna keep doing them. I usually use the camera that is in my hands to get overall shots but that weekend one of the legs on my monopod was broken so for the most part I used all tripod shots. Trip to Colorado got cancelled when my car went berzerk yesterday. Gotta deal with that now so I don't know when I'll get back out to do some more video.
