Hi everybody :)
After an image search, I assume that the name in the title is correct for the plant that is now the center of the macro photography session.
The description of this plant also indicates that it is an aquatic plant, despite having been collected far from any water line.
According to some studies and based on recent historical records, this species is considered endangered with an evident continued decline due to the quality and reduction in the extent of its habitat, with agricultural intensification as the main cause.
It is in fact a plant with a very interesting aesthetic and with high potential for this type of photo shoot, having the ability to offer visual recordings that are quite interesting and smooth in their texture and detail.
The color palette is not one that I like most, but the color combination presents a pleasant transition to the eye.
Let me present today’s model:
Before moving onto the result...
- My introductory thoughts about macro photography:
It's amazing how macros with their blurred background can result in such different images full of contrasts and textures especially with this kind of subjects.
In the world of photography, especially macro photography, there is a universe of things available to everyone, enabling totally different and original approaches.
Among the various possible techniques to shoot macros, this is perhaps the most affordable and effective technique for those who have a camera with removable lens.
We can simply remove the lens and reverse the direction, and by using an inverter ring it ends up being more comfortable and facilitates the process.
Let's now move onto the result:
To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:
Examining miniature subjects using macro photography unveils a compelling domain where minute details acquire significant importance. Immersion in the intricacies of these diminutive objects enables the recognition of the frequently disregarded beauty within this microenvironment. Each image preserves a transitory instance, displaying the complexity concealed within the small-scale elements of nature. Macro photography's core essence resides in its capacity to elevate commonplace subjects to remarkable levels, presenting an intimate and captivating viewpoint.
The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
