##### Hello everybody :)

During the macro photography session that I'm sharing today, the focus was on capturing detailed images of a small plant collected during a walk next to some huge dunes that are located in a reserved area along the Portuguese coast in the north of the country.
In future articles I will have the opportunity to share more records of other specimens collected in the same location.
With the focus directed to this small branch, it was possible to obtain visual records of these delicate green leaves and, at the end, a vibrant yellow flower. The intricate beauty and fascinating complexity of these elements highlight the unique textures and patterns of this specimen. Every detail was carefully lit and framed to create a visually captivating composition.

##### Let me present today’s 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.

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.

To finish, i leave you with some considerations regarding these photo sessions:

> Examining miniature subjects using macro photography unveils a compelling domain where minute details acquire significant importance. Immersion in the intricacies of these diminutive objects enables the recognition of the frequently disregarded beauty within this microenvironment. Each image preserves a transitory instance, displaying the complexity concealed within the small-scale elements of nature. Macro photography's core essence resides in its capacity to elevate commonplace subjects to remarkable levels, presenting an intimate and captivating viewpoint.

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