Hello everybody :)
I have particularly focused on this type of photographic approach, although i have a special taste for many other styles of photographic recordings.
Despite maintaining the same approach, today i chose to adopt a direct technique using a long lens to capture some macro views of sublime aspects that we can find outdoors in the middle of nature.
Just the fact that it was recorded outdoors immediately gives it a very different aspect to that which i have shared in some sessions carried out in a controlled indoor environment without natural light.
Not only is the tone different, richer in color, with a transfer of shadows and contrasts, but the background becomes an integral part of the entire scene.
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 different ways and techniques that allow us to obtain macro recordings, one of them is the inverter ring, which i have shared in previous sessions, where i put a gif demonstrating how to apply the ring and invert the lens, there is also this very simple way which i used in the recordings i share today, with a long-range lens, keeping the lens locked at the height duly marked for this purpose, range: 180 - 300mm.
Let's now move onto the result:
To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:
Exploring these small specimens through macro photography reveals a captivating dimension where the tiny takes on a preponderant meaning and the most sublime details take on a central role. Diving into the intricacies of these small creations gives us the opportunity to witness the charm of a kingdom that often escapes our attention. Each photograph captures a still moment, emphasizing the opulence carefully hidden in the tiniest aspects of the natural world. From my perspective, the heart of macro photography lies in its power to transmute the ordinary into the exceptional, presenting an intimate and captivating point of view.
Layers of intricate subtleties intertwine to compose a vibrant representation of resilience and beauty, permeating even the smallest facets of existence. In each image i discover more than a mere visual documentation, i find a tangible representation of the complexity and richness that silently populate our surroundings, often forgotten and easily unnoticed.
The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
