"SEII" Sharp Edges II Closest Result | Macro Photography Session - Technical Description

Hi everyone :)

Again, a stone, which incidentally is the same piece discussed in the previous article, but from a different and broader perspective.

Session Purpose

The goal of these macro photography sessions is to capture images with as much detail as possible within the capabilities of the technique used, always focusing on the meticulous observation and documentation of all visual characteristics and details. Furthermore, I aim to create attractive visual compositions for publication on this blog, seeking to share the beauty and complexity of this work.

Among the numerous techniques available for macro photography, this method is arguably the most cost-effective and efficient for individuals possessing a camera with a removable lens. By simply detaching the lens and reversing its direction, and employing an inversion ring, the process becomes more manageable and streamlined.

Used equipments

Camera: Canon EOS 600D Digital SLR with CMOS sensor
Lens: EFS 18-55mm with f/5 maximum aperture, allowing shallow depth of field and capturing fine details.
Used inverter ring
Tripod: not used
Lighting: Adjustable LED lights to provide soft, even lighting, avoiding harsh shadows and highlighting the details of structures.

Camera Settings

Focus Mode: Manual focus to ensure precision in specific details of the structure.
Aperture: Variable aperture between f/4 and f/5 for adequate depth of field, ensuring all important details are in focus.
ISO: Low ISO setting (600) to minimize noise in images.
Shutter Speed: Adjust shutter speed as needed to avoid underexposure, while maintaining a value that allows you to capture sharp details.

The session is closed for today.
Hope you like it :)
