Trip to Reserva Ornitológica #2 - Mindelo | Portugal

Continuing the previous post, and after having wet my feet in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, we return to the walkway to take a little further ahead and turn right to follow the trails that cross the interior of the natural park along the reserve.

In one of the first posts about this place that i shared here, i walked the entire walkway passing in front of a small pond where i had the opportunity to register dozens of birds that used to drink water, refresh or simply rest before starting a trip to more distant places, this reserve being a stopping point for a huge variety of migratory birds.
This time we didn't go that far and we stayed a little further back where the vegetation rises with each step we take towards the interior of this green spot.

Along the way it is possible to cross some agricultural fields, and in the middle, listen to an endless variety of sounds caused by the huge variety of species that are camouflaged in the middle of the vegetation.
And of course, some more macro records to embellish the article :)

In fact these articles are about photography, be it landscape or macro photography, and the description will always be a mere accessory and in these cases there will not be much that can be detailed since they are about escaping hikes to relax and gradually establish a routine as similar as possible to the one we had before the pandemic.

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.

Before moving onto the result...

Feel free to check some of the previous macro photography sessions with a technique short description:

Here i present the technique used through a short visual tutorial:

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.

That´s all for today :)

See you soon

Thank you for watching :)
