Hi everybody :)
Macro photography has the power to transform familiar objects into veritable visual landscapes. In this session, the central subject is two shells collected on the beach, whose rough, weather-beaten surfaces take on an almost sculptural dimension when viewed up close.
Using a reverse ring lens to explore the macro world, it was possible to zoom in so that each groove and line of the shells becomes the protagonist. The use of a shallow depth of field creates areas of selective sharpness, which stand out even more due to their contrast with the blurred areas, leading the viewer's eye to the detail that needs to be revealed.
The combination of brownish, orange, and white tones, in dialogue with the shadows cast on the reliefs, adds depth and visual rhythm. The emerging abstract forms evoke miniature valleys, mountain ranges, and dunes, evoking terrestrial landscapes on a microscopic scale. In certain frames, the curves of the shells recall ancient architectural structures, such as colonnades or vaults shaped by nature.
Let me present today’s model:
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.
Session Purpose
The main objective of this macro photography session is to capture detailed images, with a focus on thoroughly observing and documenting all characteristics and visual details. Furthermore, i seek to create attractive visual compositions for publication on this blog, aiming to share the beauty and complexity of this piece.
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.
To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:
Examining miniature subjects through macro photography reveals a compelling domain where minute details assume significant importance. Immersing oneself in the intricacies of these diminutive objects allows for the recognition of the often-overlooked beauty within this microenvironment. Each image captures a fleeting moment, showcasing the complexity hidden within the small-scale elements of nature. The essence of macro photography lies in its ability to elevate ordinary subjects to extraordinary levels, offering an intimate and captivating perspective.
The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)

Never forget
The price of anything is the amount of life you trade for it.
Time is life... value yours, make every fraction worth it.
I really like playing with the depth, and this macro landscape you wrote about looks a bit like from another planet 🙂
Glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by :)
