A Piece of Dead Nature - Macro Perspective
Hi everybody :)
I don't know what might have crossed your mind when you read the title :)
In this case, the still life consists of a set of different pieces of dried plants, such as bark and leaves.
Still life is a form of art that represents inanimate objects, such as flowers, fruits, household utensils and, in this case, dried leaves and bark, arranged in an aesthetic way in the composition that i present to you. Although the leaves are dead in biological terms, they still carry their own beauty, some of them simpler and more neutral, while others have intrinsic details and bright colors.
If my memory serves me correctly, it has been a long time since i approached this type of subject, namely some objects considered still life, and each time i remember obtaining a very diverse result, rich in details and abstract scenes.
Let me present today’s model:
Before moving onto the result...
- My introductory thoughts about macro photography:
The world of macro photography, is a realm filled with endless possibilities and boundless creativity. It is truly remarkable how the use of macros, with their ability to create a beautifully blurred background, can produce such diverse images full of contrast and texture.
Macro photography reveals a world of details that often goes unnoticed by the naked eye. It's as if a whole new universe unfolds before the lens, inviting us to explore and appreciate the beauty 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 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 :)

The price of anything is the amount of life you trade for it.
Time is life... value yours, make every fraction worth it.
The dying of nature is also aesthetically pleasing.
