Macro Photography Session | Echeveria Purpusorum

[aleister]

Hello everyone :)

And so it happened.
I hijacked a vase from my sister's balcony again.
It has such a wide variety of plants, at least strange to look at, that i can't contain myself and whenever i have the opportunity to go there, i go to the balcony to take one of these plants home and place it on the operating table to perform a surgical procedure with the lens.
After capturing all the details from all possible angles, i had to look for the name of the plant, since it is not identified and i didn't even have time to ask anyone who understands this, but i ended up finding it there.
Today's subject is an Echeveria Purpusorum.
This succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family and the echeveria genus, a plant native to Mexico.
Let's start with a wide picture from the subject showing all the structure, texture and colors.

Before moving onto the result...

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.

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:

The most interesting thing about macro photography is to appreciate those details that you can't see with the naked eye, there is always something interesting to know!
