Succulent Crassula Hirta - Macro Perspective // Photography

Hi everybody :)

Back to another milestone photography session and today I present a very interesting plant, especially when observed closely as it is in close proximity that the details reveal themselves.
This plant was bought by my daughter at a school fair, and then she offered it to me so I could photograph it, incredible :)

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:

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/725 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/650 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/725 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/650 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/725 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/650 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/725 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400}

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 :)
