Sea urchin, i honestly think that's what it's all about.
I had this piece in my storage for a long time, collected during one of those walks by the sea.
Over time it ended up deteriorating and even breaking, revealing its hollow interior, but when it passed through the visual operations table, as i like to call it, it was possible to do a very interesting photo session in my opinion.
Depending on the perspective, the result can vary in a very sublime way, sometimes it appears as a lunar landscape, at others it appears as an alien scenery, at others it seems that we are looking at a jewel made by human hands.
Once again the macro scenario did not disappoint, as did another piece that washed ashore after most certainly having traveled several kilometers under the sea.
It would have been quite interesting if it still had its thorns, but on the other hand it would not be possible to obtain this result.
I would end up with a result very similar to the session carried out with the chestnut hedgehog that I shared in one of the previous articles.
Of course, one thing is what we perceive, another is the final result, which, as I have explained, always ends up surprising, no matter how simple it may seem at first glance.
I can't forget to look for one of these with the thorns during my next walk by the sea.
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.
In conclusion and reflection beyond the visual and photographic record, i wonder how it is possible that something so small and apparently fragile managed to overcome so many adversities imposed by nature from the height of its inflexibility and end up here under my light, serving as a topic for this session.
Everything nature has to offer is absolutely brilliant and rewarding.
The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
