Hello everyone :)

Even the stones impress with the details they have to explore.
Of course, not all objects always have more than 2 distinct details to be extracted by the lens.
Some are much more interesting than others, but i end up reaching that conclusion only after pointing the lens and seeing the result.
Today's subject at first glance seemed quite homogeneous to me and there would be nothing much to break down with a closer look, although with the naked eye it is possible to identify the various shades that stand out, but the mixture of layers is extremely interesting. .
I once again fooled myself and was surprised by this macro world.
The fusion of layers is so high that the details transform into cave paintings, tribal drawings, an alien planet, an ancient abstract piece, i don't know what else, in fact, anything that is possible to imagine, fantasize, design... .
For moments i even doubted whether this object was in fact a stone or whether it was something else.
As i don't understand any of this, I'm going to assume that it really is a stone that went through several evolutionary stages resulting in what we see today.

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.
