Refuge - Macro Perspective // Photography "À La Carte"

Hi everybody :)

It is announced, the rocks of the à la Carte collection have run out.
That leaves only the piece I present today and one more that I will present in the next article.
There were still a few more rocks left but they were left until the end and after they passed in front of the lens, I came to the conclusion that they did not present the roughness and details necessary to present during one of these macro photography sessions, they were quite monotonous in their composition.
But I still managed to extract from this and the one that will follow, some interesting notes that gained a prominent place.

The rocks featured in this catalog have been meticulously selected from a diverse collection of stones gathered from the mountain. Through their variety, they collectively provide a comprehensive visual representation of the geological characteristics inherent to this region.

Today, I present a this rock, named "Refuge."

Let me present today’s model:

My introductory thoughts about macro photography:

The field of macro photography is a domain replete with limitless possibilities and boundless creativity. It is truly remarkable how the use of macro lenses, with their capability to produce beautifully blurred backgrounds, can yield such a diverse array of images rich in contrast and texture.

Macro photography unveils a world of intricate details that often escape the naked eye. It is as if an entirely new universe unfolds before the lens, inviting us to explore and appreciate the beauty inherent in the minutiae of everyday life.

What makes macro photography so captivating is its ability to offer a new perspective on the world around us. With the right technique and vision, even the most mundane subjects can be transformed into works of art, each image telling its own unique story.
There are no limits to what can be captured. Each object becomes a potential subject, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, where even the smallest details can evoke a feeling of surprise.

Among the numerous techniques available for macro photography, this method is arguably the most cost-effective and efficient for individuals possessing a camera with a removable lens. By simply detaching the lens and reversing its direction, and employing an inversion ring, the process becomes more manageable and streamlined.

Let's now move onto the result:

To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:

Examining miniature subjects through macro photography reveals a compelling domain where minute details assume significant importance. Immersing oneself in the intricacies of these diminutive objects allows for the recognition of the often-overlooked beauty within this microenvironment. Each image captures a fleeting moment, showcasing the complexity hidden within the small-scale elements of nature. The essence of macro photography lies in its ability to elevate ordinary subjects to extraordinary levels, offering an intimate and captivating perspective.

The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
