Hi everyone

I ran out of plants for shooting here at home and as I have failed to go outside to photograph different species in their natural habitat, I had to visit my sister's balcony and borrow this new species for another inside photo shoot with artificial light.
Although very similar and monotonous overall, it was possible to capture small details that caused some visual diversity and some give an excellent wallpaper.

Without more delays, let me present the 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.

Before moving onto the result...

Here i present the technique used through a short visual tutorial:

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:
