Botanical Fern Photography: Capturing the Delicate Beauty of Nature
In this journal entry, I’m showcasing a series of macro photographs featuring a delicate fern. Captured in my studio using only natural light, this Botanical Fern Photography series highlights the intricate details of flora. Macro photography allows an extreme close-up detail of plants, emphasizing both the sharp, and soft focus areas. You’ll notice how selective focus draws attention to the fine details of the fern’s stem, while the softer edges give the image a sense of movement and depth. The interplay between light and shadow adds dimension to the composition, creating a captivating botanical study.
