Today I carried out this intriguing macro photography session, in which I chose a peculiar plant as a model, with a unique and captivating look that provided a very interesting visual result.
The plant in question has a faint, almost pale green tone, with gray nuances along its surface. Furthermore, some purple notes are present in a subtle but impactful way, especially near the branch and at the ends of the tentacles, as I chose to call them. This touch of color adds an extra dimension of depth to the visual record.
The shape of the plant reminds me of the tentacles of an octopus and at the same time reminds me of tweezers, giving the plant an aggressive and almost predatory look. This appearance evokes the image of a carnivorous plant, reinforcing the feeling that the plant is on the prowl, ready to capture its prey.
During the session, I focused on capturing the details that highlight its uniqueness, with fine textures and subtle color gradients and with this peculiar and exotic shape that contributed to a series of elaborate and sometimes abstract images.
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.
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 :)
