Neutral Subtleties - Macro Perspective // Photography

8 months ago

Hello everybody :)

For moments I almost forgot that for a long period I approached many geological specimens from a macro perspective with which I even created a collection.
some of these specimens are still in the collection box waiting for the next session, but lately I felt forced to use some biological elements that I collected during a recent walk along the beach in the north of the country, in a very interesting place that shares different elements and is abundant with a very characteristic flora and rich in details.
But there is a detail, these specimens do not wait forever to be visually scrutinized, because like any biological element, it degrades over time, and that is exactly what happened, it took me a little longer to make the records and I ended up losing to time some of the specimens I collected, the ones I present today being the only ones that remained minimally presentable.

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 :)
