Hi everyone
Back to another session of macro photography.
For this article about macro photography that I present today, I had to borrow a vase from my sister, that's right, at the end of a family event, before leaving, I asked her to show me interesting objects or plants to photograph and she accompanied me to the balcony of her house, and outside, among a spectacular variety of plants she keeps in small vases, allowed me to pick up a small vase and bring it to my house for this macro photography session.
Once in my small studio, that is, in the living room :P I prepared the light, positioned the vase with these small species of which I can only identify what seems to be a small cactus and started taking some pictures, always trying to create a peculiar environment, taking advantage of the blurred background and the incidence of light through different angles.
Regarding the shoots, 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.
Before moving onto the result...
Feel free to check some of the previous macro photography sessions with a technique short description:
- Macro photography session | General view of erosion
- Macro photography session | Combination between sea shells and chestnut bur
- Macro photography session | Matteuccia Struthiopteris
- Macro photography session | Multiple Species
Here i present the technique used through a short visual tutorial:
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:
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/200 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 800
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/300 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/250 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/400 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/350sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/500 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/300 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/400 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/400 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/400 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/350 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
These photos weren't taken with a tripod, hence the unclear result.

Thank you so much @ewka :) btw, i would love to take some macros from the plants you have on your balcony :P
I am sure you would have so much fun :D
They aren't cacti but various mesembs, which are succulent plants native to South Africa. They are great macro subjects with their freakish forms
Hi @nikv, thank you so much for helping me identify these awesome species with their freakish forms as you say :P these are the type of macros i like to shoot with all this crazy details. thank you once again for stopping by :)
Pleasure! I like growing this plant family very much
