Hi everybody :)

Yesterday, I shared some details of the walk I recently took and during which I collected some minerals with which I intend to do some macro photography sessions, and the specimen I'm sharing with you today is one of them.
With very different details and tones from the mineral I shared yesterday, this one has a lighter tone and a higher and more explicit concentration of crystals.

Let me present today’s model:

Before moving onto the result...

• 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 :)
