Botanical Fern Photography
A macro lens was used to photograph this delicate little fern. Shooting flora and fauna, plants and flowers, is hugely rewarding. The – Botanical Fern Photography – in this journal entry was shot in my studio using only natural light.
Macro photography is exceptional for extreme close-up detail of plants. As you’ll notice when you study the artworks. As intended, some elements of the fern are super sharp, and in contrast to other parts of the fern with a soft focus. Thus, giving the imagery a sense of movement.
Furthermore, your eyes are drawn to the finer details on the fern stem. Because I used the lens for selective focus. Also, the leaves in the shadow add additional depth and dimension to the composition.
