I give you 10 seconds to guess what this sound is.

When I was little I would get jealous of the film characters because the sounds that came from simple actions was so loud and crisp. I wanted that sound for my actions too. I remember feeling specially jealous of the sound that came from walking on gravel. I wondered why such sounds could only be heard on tv or on the radio.

Then, one Christmas, I got "My First Sony" and understood what a microphone was.

I was trying out the macro option on my camera for filming. I can't control it very much but I think it's quite good. But what I liked more was the sound of my pen on the paper. Sounds like breathing. Or slow chewing.

One of my favourite sounds is the sound of a horse chewing.
