Macro Photography Session | Aloe Vera in Perspective

By aleister | aleister | 27 Jan 2020

Hi everyone

Back to another session of macro photography.

Today I adopted another plant well known not only for its decorative ability but essentially for the most varied applications and benefits such as soothing, healing, anesthetic, anti-thermal and anti-inflammatory effects, and is great for moisturizing hair and skin... yes, i´m talking about the famous Aloe vera.
At first glance when we look from a certain distance it looks very similar in all its structure, not differing much between either end, but when it comes to macro photography, everything changes figure.

Without more delays, let me present the star of the moment

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...

In this picture you can see the technique used to take these Macros:

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.
