Hi everyone

Back to another session of macro photography.

The rainy and windy weather makes it very difficult to take outdoor photos, especially macros because the wind gets everything moving around and it is virtually impossible to get a minimally focused record.
So I chose to take some macros in a controlled environment inside doors.
I searched for an interesting object and ended up finding some dried leaves used as home decor.
Here they are:

I ended up getting quite interesting abstract records that you can see below...

Here you can see some of the previous macro photography sessions with a technique short description:

SESSION 1
SESSION 2
SESSION 3
SESSION 4

Before moving on to the result, I present the technique used through a short visual tutorial:

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 move onto the result:

I started by taking some pictures of each of the objects individually, but quickly realized that mixing the objects would yield more interesting results, mixing the shapes, colors and contrasts.

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/15 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/50 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/40 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/50 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/15 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 300}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/35 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 300}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/25 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/50 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 200}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/50 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

These photos weren't taken with a tripod, hence the unclear result.
The use of a tripod and shutter is highly recommended.
