Macro Photography Session | Rocks à La Carte - The Chroniton

3 months ago

Hello everybody :)

Today we continue with the "à La Carte" catalog approach.
As previously mentioned, the specimens that form an integral part of this catalog were selected from a variety of other stones collected on the mountain where i usually walk and, in their variety, they end up visually describing the geological characteristic of this place.
Today i present the second rock in the first column, starting on the left, called "The Chroniton" :)

Here is the catalog:

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 these rocky specimens through the lens of macro photography reveals a fascinating dimension where tiny elements acquire significant visual weight and the most exquisite complexities take on a central role. Delving into the intricacies of these diminutive creations gives us the opportunity to observe the allure of a realm that often escapes our attention. Each photograph freezes a moment in time, highlighting the opulence meticulously hidden in the smallest facets of the natural world. In my opinion, the essence of macro photography lies in its ability to transform the ordinary into extraordinary, presenting an intimate and passionate perspective.
Intertwined layers of delicate subtleties come together to create a vivid portrait of resilience and beauty, permeating even the tiniest aspects of existence. In each image I unearth more than a mere visual record. I discover a tangible manifestation of the complexity and abundance that silently inhabits our surroundings, often overlooked and easily overlooked.

The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
