Dandelion - Macro Perspective // Photography

Hi everybody :)

I don't remember if I had ever used a dandelion in one of these macro photography sessions.
By now, there are hundreds of specimens that I have photographed, and within the typology that I normally highlight, I find it strange that I have never done so since it is something very present in our flora.
It is in fact a plant that at first glance does not seem to have many details to explore, but once again we are surprised when we bring the lens closer and we obtain a very interesting visual result.
For a moment it appears that this is a monochromatic macro photography session, but the subtle yellowish tones and the accentuated green of the leaves that are hidden among that kind of down reveal some color, albeit in a very subtle tone.
I don't know about you, but I really liked the visual composition.

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 :)
