Colorful Botany | Macro Perspective // Photography

14 days ago

Hi everybody :)

It wasn't intentional, but it ended up being alternated and today we returned to the visual study of yet another character from the botanical world.
Although this piece is in a state of decomposition, visually apparent in some of the edges presented and a little less apparent in others that are still extremely vivid, the visual set provides a very interesting result, enhanced mainly by the color palette.
Regarding the insect present there, I risk assuming that it is the same one recorded in one of the previous sessions, especially because the specimens are kept in the same case and perhaps the creature moved from one piece to another when it realized that this piece which I share today would be the focus of the next photo session.

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 :)
