Bumpy Surface | Rocks à La Carte - Macro Perspective || Photography

8 months ago

Hi everybody :)

I went to the collection box where I still keep some stones waiting to be photographed and removed one that looked like it was just asking to be thrown away.
In some of the previous articles I mentioned and described a little about the collection that I refer to in the title and what gave rise to it and how the specimens that are part of it were collected.
What is certain is that the visual record of this collection will soon come to an end and I will have to think about what will come next, but each thing in its own time.

The rocks included in this catalog were meticulously chosen from a diverse array of stones gathered on the mountain. Through their diversity, they collectively offer a visual depiction of the geological features inherent to this region.
Today i present two rocks chosen randomly from the board, called "Bumpy Surface" :)

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 :)
