Macro Photography Session | White Shell
Hello everybody :)
I present to you another shell, one of those that are brought to us from the bottom of the sea and end up being gifted by nature, just go for a walk by the sea and pay attention to the sand :)
This whelk, unlike most of the ones i collected during these tours, is white without a very detailed pattern.
The white-colored shells are composed primarily of calcium carbonate, a mineral that is generally white or nearly clear. Calcium is extracted from seawater by molluscs as they build their shells. The white color is a result of the way light is reflected and refracted on the surface of the shell, giving it its distinctive appearance.
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 :)
