WePhoto - 2015 - Macro - Vol 1

Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photo-graphic work of the 10 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Sin-ce then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Spe-cial edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calen-dars 2016.

This new collection – The Series - is made of diffe-rent eBooks, each one (or more than one if requi-red) related to a specific photographic theme, in-cluding the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. This is the First eBook of the third line of this new collection and has been dedicated to Macro and Close-Up Photography.

Macro and Close-Up

Questo genere fotografico descrive un mondo particolare, nascosto, piccolo, segreto. Addentrarsi in questo mondo non è facile. Oltre alla professionalità, alla cura dell'immagine, bisogna avere pazienza. Aspettare, esplorare luoghi invisibili per dare a noi la visione di una bellezza nascosta. Insetti che sembra-no giganti delle favole, colori, forme affascinanti. Voglio ringraziare, a nome di tutti i lettori, questi esploratori che ci donano emozioni visive altrimenti irraggiungibili.Macro and Close-Up

Macro and Close-Up

This photographic genre describes a particular world, hidden, little, secret. Explore this world is not easy. Besides the professionalism, the care of the image, you have to be patience. Wait, explore unseen places to give us a vi-sion of a hidden beauty. Insects that look like giant of fairytale, colors, fasci-nating forms. I want to thank, on behalf of all readers, these explorers that we give visual excitement otherwise unreachable.

RICCARDO NOYA M. D. in emergency room, living in Bari (Apulia IT).  I have been an enthusiast since childhood of eve-rything that nature has to offer us. My favorite readings were books of zoology, botany and entomology. I am fortunate to live near the Natural Reserve of Lama Balice and, a few kilo-meters, from the Regional Park of High Murgia. Often I visit these places to search for specimens to be immortalized in all their beauty or to searchfor caterpillars to breed so you can see and photograph the metamorphosis.I currently use a Canon EOS 700D with a Canon Macro 100mm f / 2.8L IS USM lens and my favorite subjects are in-sects and other small invertebrates.

BARBARA MAESTRUCCI resident in Perugia (Italy). Photographing is stop-ping time with a click. I love every type of photo-graphy, especially naturalistic photography. Even though my favorite is macrophotography, it allows to observe a micro world, small and lovely; with the practice of this type of photograph I learned to respect these small animals.I started photographing 4 years ago and my vision of the world has totally changed: the photography gives you “another eye”! The eye of the foto-grapher that sees everithing around him accura-tely: a sunset, couple holding close or a ladybug on a flower!!!

I am Silvia Spedicato, born in 1981 and raised in south Italy (Brindisi). After some years in Bologna where I graduated, I came back home in the South to work in my hometown, where I currently live with my husband and my dear ones.In 2014 my husband gave me some photography classes as a gift and in the same year I came into the world of macrophoto-graphy. I fell so in love with this new experience of macrophoto-graphy that I decided to buy another camera: a full frame Nikon D610 and a macro lens. But I love photography as a whole, so I am also fascinated by mi-cro world: I find it fantastic and enchanting, I think it is like a dream and, at the same time, it is very emotional. I love taking pictures of water droplets and I’m also fascinated by what they can retain, fantastic reflected worlds. Every little drop of water is life, is magic. What lies on a soft petal of a flower seems to be suspended in time and it seems to be in harmony with the crea-tion.
