Fortunately, there are many specimens ready to be scrutinized by my camera lens :) This specimen is much lighter than those presented recently in previous sessions, but no less detailed. In this first phase, it is possible to visualize the piece in its entirety and some nuances of its relief and composition, with special focus on the characteristic tonality of the different compounds that make up this gem. In the next session, I will increase the scale and we will see the result :) --- 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. https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/qpm6pm12ej.gif ##### Let me present today’s model: ![IMG_4257.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23u62jjXo3S6Taps96pFL8K2GBEfqXhAfHAvhLeSrUZXTP1gE62sGbHEM6ujUtfmxxPGj.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4258.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23vhsZ59TyFgQZ5ffnSxueQQtxdYaqZeu3oFKZUFC1Dr7u1eotqGdVsvTRrCWYk9B5i5v.jpg) _{F-stop: F/4 | Exposure time: 1/1250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4259.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23wqbuJpGKabimoZNwoUGwofUvPU7eG3xFwZzCG56hS5eZiJQBTGcUgp9rGB7SHU9GrK8.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4260.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23wMY1YoDFomThZbKzdM5Sus2boMRiJPqtWL48xwwHk3MpceWW71itrdxQVL9cmpYXyHz.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4261.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23xp2Ffwa7r2CMesgtpEfaZpVoU4ej4yoKctD6TQ29s57eQAc8JjcS5d9nNZwneRS9KZE.jpg) _{F-stop: F/4 | Exposure time: 1/1250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4262.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23tmBnpn5n2m81i4EcfzeaR26y1pGUvqE5qFai8yHvM94yCk5YbfDVQ5MMNK55p7wwLhk.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4263.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23vhrypHYG2oCZgdgHrcF3nnmKHkR25WPmcW9yCSpq25xhcEpF2eavQDVoQsyGDDQVBNx.jpg) _{F-stop: F/4 | Exposure time: 1/1250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4264.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23wqdoDdafDqZQLc7Q64ksbkWwMA66ENeMpqckE74gUZXP26nDJAW6FT4FAhUM263aDkT.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4265.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23xyQv3BjcTBRFrTV4wTvUWHnoWzW8wWbALx5KYQ4XNFXYvFEDdBfmh315YcMgEod8Zg8.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4267.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23tH1ddf1tnAB4Yxx2aaCUQ1siWMLXJ1Hi1Tqdp1numKEAvFxT4LCLFRWL2ZAk3KQnHBf.jpg) _{F-stop: F/4 | Exposure time: 1/1250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4268.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23wC7ZW7aazV4apPwaAxHpnLyBoRi9PHTkyLeFS39nQxQFCgMaDaE8Fz6xBorkP8Y9TUG.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4269.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23tH1D2dVQkJMicMu6qWHfaQZMVVP9A2VM85iizWogQivZqDn6dL9QGLo7i6ddBfqm6iU.jpg) _{F-stop: F/5 | Exposure time: 1/1350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} ![IMG_4270.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23u5ztH1hdfoC7xQXWzA9XMW5T6roCo9VvsUMDTRiEp5uBq1RMkGk7KF7e4DQ1Q4YdqZ2.jpg) _{F-stop: F/4 | Exposure time: 1/1250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 100} --- ##### Session Purpose The goal of these macro photography sessions is to capture images with as much detail as possible within the capabilities of the technique used, always focusing on the meticulous observation and documentation of all visual characteristics and details. Furthermore, I aim to create attractive visual compositions for publication on this blog, seeking to share the beauty and complexity of this work. --- ##### Used equipments Camera: Canon EOS 600D Digital SLR with CMOS sensor Lens: EFS 18-55mm with f/5 maximum aperture, allowing shallow depth of field and capturing fine details. Used inverter ring Tripod: not used Lighting: Adjustable LED lights to provide soft, even lighting, avoiding harsh shadows and highlighting the details of structures. ##### Camera Settings Focus Mode: Manual focus to ensure precision in specific details of the structure. Aperture: Variable aperture between f/4 and f/5 for adequate depth of field, ensuring all important details are in focus. ISO: Low ISO setting (100) to minimize noise in images. Shutter Speed: Adjust shutter speed as needed to avoid underexposure, while maintaining a value that allows you to capture sharp details. --- To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions: > Observing all these pieces through macro photography reveals a fascinating dimension and breadth, full of minute details that ultimately assume significant importance in the visual composition. The complexity of these objects, when viewed from this perspective, takes on a beauty that is often overlooked by the indifference of the eye. The essence of macro photography lies in its ability to elevate ordinary objects to extraordinary levels, offering an intimate and captivating perspective. The session is closed for today. Hope you like it :) https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/Eo1uXzYGZ1u9sf8emF4NkaQDbNboaKDW5LoqFdKE6vWqJHnoeZ2TtDeRL6Bb2VvsZyi.png ##### These photos weren't taken with a tripod Photo by @aleister Camera - Canon EOS 600D Lens - EFS 18-55mm Location - Portugal Thanks for following me and support my work! ![5bEGgqZEHBMe6s3wiPgGFTi3naqHERgdwJew6rJYRaB3RR7sSAdZKnpJrzBaM479LAPQZP9wVK4uxkMRP7miPfoHap3ywgiq.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/48PuiSSxQj3pqz6VtNFaomyvc7HbZjNwUm96kAv8oQT2n8tHbeVddnij6kpn5MgDcq.gif) See you soon Thank you for watching Never forget The price of anything is the amount of life you trade for it.
