Hello everybody :)
Welcome to another macro photography session, this time back in the studio, so you'll be able to see the difference between this one and the last 2, which were carried out outside my mini amateur studio.
The subject discussed today was collected in a very interesting place, which i will share here as soon as i have the opportunity, and i believe it will not disappoint, especially for those who appreciate history, medieval architecture and of course, lots of stones.
It was in the middle of some of these stones that this specimen caught my attention.
Of course, it would have been difficult to go unnoticed, taking into account the very peculiar characteristics and mainly because i already have a trained eye to look for these small natural treasures.
This combination is presented before the lens as a small ecosystem that is extremely rich in combination and detail.
In such a small sample it is possible to glimpse several species coexisting with each other.
Small fungus chimneys with ends that resemble match heads, sprouting from a moss full of small green leaves and antennae growing towards the light.
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:
Exploring these small specimens through macro photography reveals a captivating dimension where the tiny takes on a preponderant meaning and the most sublime details take on a central role. Diving into the intricacies of these small creations gives us the opportunity to witness the charm of a kingdom that often escapes our attention. Each photograph captures a still moment, emphasizing the opulence carefully hidden in the tiniest aspects of the natural world. From my perspective, the heart of macro photography lies in its power to transmute the ordinary into the exceptional, presenting an intimate and captivating point of view.
Layers of intricate subtleties intertwine to compose a vibrant representation of resilience and beauty, permeating even the smallest facets of existence. In each image i discover more than a mere visual documentation, i find a tangible representation of the complexity and richness that silently populate our surroundings, often forgotten and easily unnoticed.
The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
