Hi everyone
Today we will take a closer look at Crassula Ovata AKA Jade Plant.
This small plant with succulent leaves that we see here can reach 1 to 2 meters in height becoming a mini tree, forming a natural "bonsai" and is perhaps the most popular and resistant plant among the so-called succulents.
The most striking feature is that they store a good amount of water in their roots, stems or leaves, which varies by species, thus allowing them to maintain reserves for extended periods and even to live in arid, dry and temperature-sensitive places where they arose.
The name Crassula is the diminutive of the Latin crassus meaning thick, fat or juicy, giving the whole family name (Crassulaceae).
This plant is also known for symbolizing good luck in every sense of life, attracting money, prosperity, fortune, abundance and wonderful, deep and lasting friendships.
I hope so: P
Without more delays, let me present the model
My introductory thoughts about macro photography:
It's amazing how macros with their blurred background can result in such different images full of contrasts and textures especially with this kind of subjects.
In the world of photography, especially macro photography, there is a universe of things available to everyone, enabling totally different and original approaches.
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 now move onto the result:
