"FA" Fractured Areas | Macro Photography Session - Technical Description

Hi everybody :)

Here we go, you and I, who will end up passing by here and stopping just to see what I have to offer :) and of course, another macro photography session, and we continue this saga focusing on small marine specimens, this time on a worn conch shell, one of those that interest me the most because they end up becoming the perfect object of study, due to the vast visual range to explore, where natural erosion exposes the structural complexity of its morphology.

Technical Description

Session Purpose
The main objective of this macro photography session is to capture detailed images of this structure, with a focus on thoroughly observing and documenting the visual characteristics and details.

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 (400) 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.

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.
