Macro photography has a magical, even fantastic point, insects become so big and impressive that you suddenly think you live in the world of elves and fairies, as if in an instant you have shrunk in size and everything seems extraordinarily large.
With the macro, you can see details you could never see with the naked eye, contemplate creatures you wouldn’t dare approach even in madness, or discover interesting facets of everyday objects you’ve never paid attention to. , while it’s true that macro lenses are often a little expensive, there are very inexpensive alternatives that can bring you closer (even closer?) to this fascinating world. The other day I was telling you how to light up your macro photos, today it will try to convince you to put your knowledge into practice or at least encourage you to try the magic of the macro.
- I bring you a varied gallery of macros that I hope you find so attractive that the interest in this type of photography begins to run through your veins before you finish reading the article Do you accept this little challenge?.
I dare say that insects are the most fascinating part of macro photography, just because of the images of these little living beings macrophotography is worth what other possibilities do you have of seeing an insect of this size?To be able to contemplate the details of their structure?See them without fear of flying or doing anything other than a caress?A microscope? Well, yes, who has one at home?And what about the magic of looking at them in their habitat and alive?Nothing to do with it! We left the microscopes for the labs and knew the macrophotography, didn’t we?
Of course, touching isn’t the same as seeing, but what happens when you see that you’re playing, what happens when you look at a photograph and feel its roughness, softness or lightness?
The best chefs (or rather Chefs) in the world know how important it is when it comes to tasting a dish and we all know that “we eat with our eyes”. Maybe that’s why macro-food photography is so attractive.
Forgive me? Now I’m coming back, what made me hungry?
We have so many stimuli around us that in most cases, the beauty or peculiarities of certain objects go unnoticed, of course, our brain has to discriminate the important thing because if we didn’t go crazy it would be unbearable to perceive everything. Therefore, we cross thresholds of perception that make it easier for us to live the day to day, which does not prevent us from occasionally coming face to face with an object that, however everyday it seems to the naked eye, seeing it in The Giant Size is a gift for our eyes.
I will end up with the flower gallery, which with insects is the most used theme in macro, because approaching a flower at these limits is letting its beauty explode on your face.
Did I wake you up, even a little bit? I am sure that at least these photos have aroused some interest in macro photography, if so, I am satisfied.
And if you’ve been inspired, consider sharing them with your contacts, just as they can detect the error if they see them. Thank you and I’ll see you soon!
