Macro Photography Session | A Piece of Tree Bark

Hello everybody

Ready for another session?
Today i leave aside the intrinsic details of geology or certain aesthetic particularities of wild flora and present a small piece of bark from a tree that i came across during a walk.
What stood out clearly, due to its size compared to the specimen presented, was the tree itself with its trunk covered in bark with a greenish tone, and i ended up realizing that it was a fungus when i got closer.
Of course, i would have to collect a piece to analyze more closely, eventually realizing that it would result in a very interesting session.

It is always very curious to look at the cover of the article after organizing the photos and viewing it, breaking down the knowledge about the origin of the piece and trying to interpret the scenario as a first impression

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 :)
