Hello everybody :)
I don't know where the interest in these rocky specimens came from, but it will certainly be connected with photography and the visual breadth that this combination provides.
For me, it is much more interesting to be able to visualize the smallest details of these gems that apparently have no transactional or monetary value, but have enormous scenic and visual compositional value.
After several sessions, i chose to create this "Rocks à La Carte" concept.
It is a concept that transcends the simple collecting of stones, becoming a visual and personalized experience for geology enthusiasts and mineral lovers. This exclusive encompasses a careful selection of rocks and minerals, providing the opportunity to view a wide variety of details.
Here is the catalogue:
The specimens that will be part of this catalog were selected from a variety of other stones collected on the mountain where i usually walk, and in their variety, they end up visually describing the geological characteristic of this place.
Today i present the first in line starting on the left and also the largest of them all, Named "The Aquilite" :)
Let me present today’s model:
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:
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 :)
