Hi everyone

Back to another session of macro photography.

Today, this scenario I present to you show the contrast between still life and living nature, the natural cycle of our ecosystem.
In the same place we can find decaying dead plants and from their base the blossoming of a new plant.
A cohabitation between plant and animal nature.
The summer season has been long and dry, but now that we have entered the fall season, the first drops of rain begin to transform all this previous decomposition into new life.
This is the natural cycle of things, the coexistence between death and life and how they complete and complement each other.
In some places the decaying plants are still isolated from animal and plant life, in other places we can already see new plants born from the base of those that once exhibited their essence, among them small insects that are making their lives there. In conclusion, an explosion of life in its most varied forms in a place that at first glance is dry, dead, but in fact there's a whole hustle and bustle that runs under our feet day after day ... just look down carefully

For this session i used this macro lens for my mobile:

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 move onto the result:

Starting by still life and passing to living nature, including some insects :P
