A bug’s POV by Ruben Alexander
Captured at the Republic Day Flower Show in Bangalore’s Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, this macro photograph invites viewers into an unexplored, miniature world. By utilizing a 50mm prime lens in a reverse mount, the photographer achieved a unique, intimate perspective that mimics the vision of a tiny insect. This technical challenge—locking the aperture at f/8.0 without electronic communication—demands immense patience and precision. The resulting image is award-worthy for its ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, showcasing the hidden beauty of nature through a creative, experimental lens that highlights the photographer’s dedication to mastering complex macro techniques.
