Intertwined Scales- Macro Perspective // Photography

20 days ago

Hi everybody :)

I share another visual record of a small plant that I collected during a walk on a narrow rural path that crosses a city area next to a small stream.
I don't know the name or the species it belongs to, but its structure caught my attention and I decided to bring a small specimen to take a closer look.
This one, like others I shared, entered a state of pre-decomposition as time passed until it was time to be the central focus of one of these sessions.
And here it is, presenting neutral and somewhat faded colors, especially when compared to the color palette shown in the previous article, but still not making it any less interesting or even impressive, more due to the details of its structure.

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 :)
