Hi everybody :)
It was during a clear and cool morning that I decided to take another one of those walks through the mountains, in that place that always brings me peace and inspiration. I woke up early and found a sky still dyed pink from the sunrise, I prepared the small backpack that I always carry with me with water and some fruit and continued on my way.
I arrived at the trail and began to climb the winding path surrounded by trees and wild vegetation.
After half an hour of walking, I stopped to rest in one of the clearings that exist there and it was right there, sitting on a rock, that when looking at the ground I saw this small mineral that almost went unnoticed, with an irregular shape, full of details. fascinating.
Like many other minerals that I found there, this one also has a very similar history, with a very ancient history that dates back to past eras, beginning its formation deep within the Earth, formed by extreme heat and pressure over millions of years. tectonic movements slowly pushed it towards the surface until it arrived here, in front of my lens.
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 :)
