The Thing - Macro Perspective // Photography

24 days ago

Hello everybody :)

The thing is, because quite honestly I don't know the name of the plant nor have I been able to come to any conclusion even after some research.
This is a very common plant in the area where I live and I've known it since I was a child but never knew its name.
Maybe I even know it at another stage of development, but at this stage with the buds still closed and the flower petals still collected, I was unable to make a research match.
Like many other objects I use for these photo shoots, this one was also collected during a walk.

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 :)
