Macro Photography Session | Strange kind of Acorn
![COVER.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/23u5xWtBf6TJT7XrgzAyrxRVcMVRVZAH8zPni46yAhWjhkNssc9LocqJkpTE5wDYuyrqD.jpg)

##### Hello everybody :)

Is it some kind of acorn?
I still looked on Google images but the closest thing i came back with was rocks... incredible!
This was one of the pieces i collected during one of the walks in the middle of the mountain, and i was careless and didn't look at the tree from which these "acorns" fall.
When i search for acorns, the subject seems similar, but in this piece there are very different characteristics of these fruits.
The acorn is the fruit of trees that belong to the oak family, such as the oak, the holm oak and the cork oak, in this case perhaps it is an acorn but from a different tree.
In a last attempt i searched for the different types of acorns, but i still didn't find what i was looking for.
This research is only to be able to identify the model for this macro photography session.
This time we will simply have to be content with the fruit of a tree, also unidentified... how sad!
Still, and following the direction of the session, the subject contains the minimum essential details to obtain different scenarios through different perspectives.
Once again i was not disappointed, especially when the focus was on the inside of the fruit, which is in a mediated phase of decomposition, presenting details and a shape very similar to the iris of the eye.
In between we can already notice some seeds sprouting towards the light, ready to continue the life cycle, so characteristic in nature.
See for yourself :)

##### 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.

https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aleister/Eo1uXzYGZ1u9sf8emF4NkaQDbNboaKDW5LoqFdKE6vWqJHnoeZ2TtDeRL6Bb2VvsZyi.png

https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/qpm6pm12ej.gif

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:

----
It ended up resulting in a session of about 35% neutral tones, despite having added a little toasted pigmentation to create some distinction and distance the register from a more accentuated neutrality.
Maybe it would have been a good bet to leave the tones unchanged, but in the end i'm satisfied with the result.

The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)

@crisvictorero · 
I love seeing this kind of photography here ( I haven't seen as much macro photography in hive as I would like to ) . since it is a whole different world , you can see really interesting results as shown by you here today .

I'm glad you do it with a ring and not a macro lens , you can use the equipment you own for different genres and styles of photos . 

Best wishes to you.

For the last 6 years, fortunately, I have enjoyed photography,It has been a beautiful path and I have realized that it involves a lot of self-knowledge.

Regarding macro photography, it is a pending topic for me, I have not ventured as much as I would like, I have it pending. A hug

@soerdjo · 
Lovely shot! I love to see the sprout and the "hairy" detail of the acorn.

I also start my journey with an inverter ring on my 50mm lens! If I may ask you a question, I wonder if you are purposefully cranking up your ISO to make a texture out of a photo, or is it just a coincidence out of necessity? I find it quite amusing, as it adds more "roughness" nuance to the image. Cheers!!

Hello soerdjo :)
Regarding the ISO, it's a conscious choice on my part. I find that intentionally increasing the ISO adds a unique texture and roughness to the image, enhancing the overall aesthetic. It's a creative decision to infuse a particular mood into the photograph. I'm glad you find it amusing :) it's always cool to experiment with different elements to convey nuances in the imagery. Cheers to the journey of creativity and exploration in photography :)
