No, This is not a Rock! | Macro Perspective // Photography

COVER.jpg

Hi everybody :)

But what is this after all?
This piece was collected on the beach, and perhaps you will only discover what it really is if you try to break it in half and see what the inside is made of.
Even after taking several macro recordings and seeing it in approximate detail, I still don't understand what it is.
At first glance it looks like a small stone sculpted by time and maritime elements, similar to other pieces that I had the opportunity to collect and photograph, which were also collected in the sand near the coast.
But this piece is different and this difference is more evident when we pick it up, when we touch it.
The weight completely rules out any geological feature and I end up coming to the conclusion that it is…. be amazed! It's a piece of wood, that's right, wood.
It's an uncertified conclusion :P but I can't imagine it being anything else, or rather, perhaps it's a set of elements that came together to form this unique piece.
The bottom of the ocean can present us with pieces that are absolutely visually disruptive.

Let me present today’s model:
Before moving onto the result...
  • My introductory thoughts about macro photography:

The world of macro photography, is a realm filled with endless possibilities and boundless creativity. It is truly remarkable how the use of macros, with their ability to create a beautifully blurred background, can produce such diverse images full of contrast and texture.
Macro photography reveals a world of details that often goes unnoticed by the naked eye. It's as if a whole new universe unfolds before the lens, inviting us to explore and appreciate the beauty in the minutiae of everyday life.

What makes macro photography so captivating is its ability to offer a new perspective on the world around us. With the right technique and vision, even the most mundane subjects can be transformed into works of art, each image telling its own unique story.
There are no limits to what can be captured. Each object becomes a potential subject, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, where even the smallest details can evoke a feeling of surprise.

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 :)
