Macro photography is ideal for experiencing nature in search of a shot, trekking and above all enriching your experience by photographing flowers, shrubs, herbs, insects. This video is an approach to macro photography without having to follow boring photographic practices, because photography is done for fun, to get excited and not to get bored. I went out in the afternoon, in the middle of summer, perhaps the hottest days, 38 degrees, with the intention of photographing some flowers, shrubs, even dried and faded flowers counting on the softness of the golden hour. I also wanted to do some backlighting, closed shots, in short I wanted to have some fun and honestly I succeeded, in fact after this outing I immediately scheduled another one soon, always macro photography. English: Tips During this outing, despite having roughly planned the route, the places, the distances, I found myself in a bit of difficulty due to the lack of telephone signal and, obviously, the internet connection preventing me from using the compass, the maps and maintaining contact with those who were supposed to pick me up because I would have entered the woods at one point and exited a few kilometers further down the valley. Without a compass and without internet at sunset, in the woods... it's not pleasant. So be careful, always carry a compass with you and communicate constantly by updating your position. Constantly check the connection and when you realize you've lost it, carefully evaluate whether it's better to continue or go back. You can never be too careful.
