Macro Photography Session | Grey Santolina
Hi everyone
Today we will visually crush one more Santolina from Asteraceae family.
This one is distinguished from the last one I posted by its gray tone and its velvety structure.
At first glance it seems that I took these photos in a monochrome register due to the tones of the plant.
Without more delays, let me present the model
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.
Before moving onto the result...
Feel free to check some of the previous macro photography sessions with a technique short description:
- Macro Photography Session | Succulent - Anacampseros
- Macro Photography Session | Calocephalus brownii
- Macro Photography Session | Brassica oleraceae acephala
- Macro Photography Session | Ficus Ginseng - Roots on the surface
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:
