REVERSE RINGS FOR MACRO OR CONTINUE TO STUDY MACROPHOTOGRAPHY
Professional photographer Andrew Gibson (© Andrew S. Gibson) talks about a method that allows you to get to an object very, very close – through the use of reversible rings.
Reversible rings for macro
If you already have a lens with a focal length of 50 mm or a whale lens (usually lenses with focal lengths of 18-55 mm), then acquiring a reversing ring will also be the most inexpensive way to get macro equipment and join the macro culture completely armed.
The method involves working with a lens inverted backwards, so that the front element looks at the camera, and the rear – at the subject. To do this, you need to buy a special adapter – a reversing ring, which allows you to mount an inverted lens either to the camera or to another lens. Continue reading
PHOTOGRAPHER DRAGONFLY WITHOUT Tears
For wildlife photography, it’s important to have a good look at the living creatures you are about to shoot. The variety of shapes and colors of the same dragonflies is simply amazing. Their life cycle is associated with water, they usually live near rivers, lakes and swamps. What you need to know and do to get great pictures of dragonflies that will interest many – from children to people involved in odonology.

Learn dragonfly behavior
If you want to photograph fixed dragonflies, it is best to get up early in the morning or wait until the end of the day. When the sun has already risen and the temperature rises, these insects are mostly active and fly very quickly. But at dawn or at dusk, you can get close enough to them and have a good macro shot.

Photographic space
The reproduction of space by the artist is analytical. Creating a certain disposition of objects and figures on the plane, he sequentially builds depth, going from one spatial plan to another. The orientation of our eyes in space is based on a clearly fixed consciousness of verticals and horizontals – no tilting of the observer’s head creates a visual sensation similar to the effects of shooting with a camera tilted up or down. In the same way, the gaze directed into the distance tends to “straighten” somewhat, rationalize space. He involuntarily gives objects indefinitely turned to him more distinct positions, leading to the frontal plane of their face or profile. Continue reading
