Hi everybody :)
It ended up turning into a photo session of a subject that, like others I shared previously, could be identified as "dead nature".
It's not the same feature in its entirety, but I was heading there, had I waited a little longer to carry out this session.
It will always be a result that pleases me, whether due to the contrasts of the different, more neutral tones, or due to the details of the textures that take shape over time.
In fact, what happened was the following, during one of those typical walks during which I am accompanied by the small case that I found so that I could collect any type of sample that sparked my interest, I found several plant specimens that I collected and kept, thinking that I was going to obtain their photographic records that same day, but that didn't happen, the opportunity passed, and I was forced to postpone the sessions due to circumstances and daily routines, until I decided to take advantage of some spare time and came across a variety of specimens on the way to their inherent characteristic of "almost" dead nature.
The one I share today is one of them, a small wild plant with some really interesting tones and details.
Let me present today’s model:
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.
Let's now move onto the result:
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 :)
