Hi everybody :)
Alternating and returning to the theme of gemology, leaving the theme of botany to rest, especially because the specimens were exhausted and I have already released them into nature along with the small creatures that remained there.
These are two topics that fascinate me when it comes to approaching them from a macro perspective, mainly due to the visual results I can obtain.
In this case of gemology, the rocky specimens are also close to being exhausted and I will soon set out on a new journey to renew the collection.
The rocks included in this catalog were meticulously chosen from a diverse array of stones gathered on the mountain. Through their diversity, they collectively offer a visual depiction of the geological features inherent to this region.
Today i present this rock chosen randomly from the board, called "Toasted & Ground" :)
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 :)

Never forget
The price of anything is the amount of life you trade for it.
Time is life... value yours, make every fraction worth it.
This red thing with the inside of the stones is very beautiful.
