Bumblebee Session 3 | Macro Photography Session - Technical Description

COVER.jpg

Hi everyone

And with this sharing, I conclude our tribute to our little friend, may she rest in peace.
This is the closest possible scale using this inverted lens technique.
It is absolutely fantastic to be able to observe such tiny details, like those small dots on the little wings, or even in the drone's eyes.
Next, we will return to the mineral sessions, still using the current light source, expecting to use the new light source, anticipating that it will be possible to obtain much more focused images. We shall see.


Among the numerous techniques available for macro photography, this method is arguably the most cost-effective and efficient for individuals possessing a camera with a removable lens. By simply detaching the lens and reversing its direction, and employing an inversion ring, the process becomes more manageable and streamlined.

Let me present today’s model:

Session Purpose

The goal of these macro photography sessions is to capture images with as much detail as possible within the capabilities of the technique used, always focusing on the meticulous observation and documentation of all visual characteristics and details. Furthermore, I aim to create attractive visual compositions for publication on this blog, seeking to share the beauty and complexity of this work.


Used equipments

Camera: Canon EOS 600D Digital SLR with CMOS sensor
Lens: EFS 18-55mm with f/5 maximum aperture, allowing shallow depth of field and capturing fine details.
Used inverter ring
Tripod: not used
Lighting: Adjustable LED lights to provide soft, even lighting, avoiding harsh shadows and highlighting the details of structures.

Camera Settings

Focus Mode: Manual focus to ensure precision in specific details of the structure.
Aperture: Variable aperture between f/4 and f/5 for adequate depth of field, ensuring all important details are in focus.
ISO: Low ISO setting (800) to minimize noise in images.
Shutter Speed: Adjust shutter speed as needed to avoid underexposure, while maintaining a value that allows you to capture sharp details.


To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:

Observing all these pieces through macro photography reveals a fascinating dimension and breadth, full of minute details that ultimately assume significant importance in the visual composition. The complexity of these objects, when viewed from this perspective, takes on a beauty that is often overlooked by the indifference of the eye. The essence of macro photography lies in its ability to elevate ordinary objects to extraordinary levels, offering an intimate and captivating perspective.

The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
