Macro Photography Session | "Moss" Animated Approach

2 months ago

Hello everybody :)

A new day with a new macro session.

Today i chose to present a different approach.
I present below a set of several frames that represent the unique approach in capturing the different scenarios presented and composed at the end of each session.
With these animations i intend to demonstrate how different objects appear before the lens and how the focusing process works.

Let´s explore the hidden wonders and fascinating details of this piece of moss, collected form a magical spot that i will present to you all later, and share some pictures too. Each frame has been selected for its unique characteristics.
Pictures were taken frame by frame from blur visual scenario, passing through focus areas and returning to the abstract blur from the background. Also added some lights in the background :)

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:

_{F-stop: f/3 | Exposure time: 1/900 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/2 | Exposure time: 1/1000 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/800 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/1000 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/2 | Exposure time: 1/900 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/1 | Exposure time: 1/800 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

_{F-stop: f/2 | Exposure time: 1/1000 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 3200}

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 :)
