" Hi guys!
It's about 4months I've start putting a big efforth into macro photography, since I bought a great Sigma lens for this purpose.
Every day I do macro shots I realize - as I supposed before starting - how crazy details the things around us got, so many that we cannot realize.
Doing macro is like discover a lot fo new universes, without becoming a NASA dude : )
For "celebrating" this my new era of little and big discovers, I decided to reproduce a macro shot with my 3d instrument.
I choose to realize a nature macro shot, for wich I've used a good number of butterfly references (the beautiful exemplary I focused on is a Melitaea didyma), focusing the work (about two weeks in total) on modeling, texturing, frame composition and colours.
..What happen when a Melitaea meets a ladybug?
Hope you will like it!
And thanks for watching
