“In her photos as well as in her pictorial works of art, Bandurek stands out for her visual acuity and sensitivity at capturing the natural world. Something striking in her photographic work lies in the sensitivity she possesses to spot beauty in the tiny, along with her ductility with which she captures the photographic instant, the detail. She holds a unique sense which enables her to pay attention to that which not all of us could see, highlighted by the passion she gets from nature”
(Natividad Marón. La Voz Joven)

THE EBOOK
MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY IN NATURE
The art of revealing details of the natural world
An ethical approach to this technique focused on conservation
Macro photography is magic, this technique allows us to enter a new universe of details of the natural world that our eyes can not see. It is a technique that requires a lot of patience, but I truly believe it is worth all of the effort, and all the time will take us to get the best results, and feel amazed about the world we will discover.

The diversity and the most varied relationships of forms are the result of their interactions with the environment and their various situations. This constant and never ending race of living beings to dispute a place in the conquest of life has enabled Nature to unfold infinite variants in every situation, since time rushes inexorably on the path of evolution. The astronomical number of individuals allows an unimaginable source of tests, proofs, errors and successes to the most varied problems. An infinite laboratory led by virtually tiny forms anticipates the creation of all possible inventions, either imagined or to be discovered. That is why insects were able to build condominiums with air conditioning, build acoustic equipment, make paper, take slaves, cultivate gardens, breed other animals, create their own oxygen tanks to breathe under water and cause explosions, among many other amazing adaptations, ahead of many human inventions.

Another jewel of the amazon. A big emotion when I found this tiny and beautiful poison dart frog, while I was walking into the stream. A beautilful frog with aposematic colours. Bright colors, like a traffic light, mark danger and need to stop, a warning signal for predators .
You can see how tiny is in the second pic where I am taking the photo of it. Can you see it? Really tiny...

As humans, we have always been fascinated with the universe and the vastness of space. However, what if I told you that an entirely new universe is waiting to be discovered?
Macro photography is a technique that allows us to enter a new universe, to capture small things in great detail. By magnifying the image of tiny subjects, we can see details that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. From insects to flowers, macro photography has opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
Arthropods, such as insects and spiders, are some of the most diverse and fascinating creatures on the planet. Their bodies are covered in intricate patterns and textures, and their colors range from vibrant and bold to subtle and muted.
Through macro photography, we can explore this world in stunning detail. We can capture the iridescent sheen of a butterfly`s wings, the intricate spider silk webbing, and the delicate hairs on a bumblebee`s legs.

Centrolenid frogs derive their common name from the transparent ventral skin, through which internal organs can be seen in many species. Most Centrolenids are a shade of green, ranging from light lime green to dark green. Members of this family also have green bones as a result of green bile salts. Studies have shown that glass frogs contain a unique pigment in their skin that reflects the same wavelength infrared radiation as plants, possibly another concealment adaptation.
Species of this group occur from Central America south through Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina, and southern Brazil in high montane forests with streams.

Robber flies are rapacious predators of flying insects. They generally watch for potential prey from a perch. From this perch they dart out after a potential prey, capture it with their legs, stab it with their dagger-like proboscis, and return to their perch. They inject the prey with saliva, wich paralizes it and liquefies the internal tissues, allowing the robber fly to suck it dry.

Did you know that tarantulas are more than just spooky crawlers? These incredible arachnids have some truly striking features that are sure to amaze you! 🕸️✨
First up, let`s talk about their size. Tarantulas come in all shapes and sizes, with some species boasting leg spans of up to 10 inches! Just imagine encountering one of these magnificent creatures in the wild. Talk about an unforgettable experience! 😮
But their size isn`t the only jaw-dropping aspect. Tarantulas also come in a stunning array of colors and patterns. From vibrant blues and reds to earthy browns and blacks, their unique hues make them nature`s living masterpieces. 🎨🌈
Now, brace yourself for another fascinating fact: tarantulas are skilled predators. With their agile movements and sharp fangs, they are known to hunt down insects, small reptiles, and even birds! —they`re true predators in the wild. 🦗🐍🐦
Speaking of their appearance, have you ever noticed those impressive, hairy legs? These hairy limbs help tarantulas in various ways. They assist in sensing their environment, aiding in balance, and even acting as a defense mechanism. Plus, they just add an extra touch of awe-inspiring beauty! 💫✨
Lastly, let`s not forget their unique ability to molt. Tarantulas shed their exoskeletons as they grow, revealing a fresh, larger version of themselves. It`s like witnessing a mini miracle! 🦋
So, whether you`re captivated by their size, mesmerized by their colors, or simply amazed by their hunting prowess, tarantulas are undeniably remarkable creatures that deserve our admiration and respect. Let`s appreciate the natural wonders that surround us, even those with eight legs! 🌍❤️

Panacanthus cuspidatus are characterized by their spike-covered bodies, which allow it to blend in with the vegetation on which it lives, and discourage potential predators. The common names spiny-headed katydid, spine-headed katydids, spike-headed katydids, thorny devil katydid, thorny devil bush cricket.
They have six spiny legs that are uses for defense. The legs help fight off enemies and trap prey. They are able to camouflage among the leafy tropical trees because of their unique green color. Even though they do not have teeth, they are able to shred flesh with the bite of their sharp mouth parts. Their size ranges from 2.5-3 inches (6-8 cm) long

Throughout my life, I often believed that certain things were out of reach for me due to financial constraints. However, one day my mindset shifted. I began thinking, "I must find a way to make my dreams come true." That day marked the beginning of a new life filled with adventures and a completely different approach to facing challenges.
That day, I bought a ticket to travel to Costa Rica (2018) in 18 installments, I went to the bank, I asked for a loan and a couple of months later I was traveling alone with my camera through the jungles of Costa Rica, doing what I love the most, being in nature portraying its inhabitants during all a month.
Certainly, it took me three years to repay the bank, but something that I had always considered impossible for me actually happened. All it took was a shift in my mindset and a determination to find a way to pursue what I love.
Our thoughts and beliefs have the power to shape our reality and determine our level of success. It is essential to recognize the limiting beliefs that hold us back and consciously choose to let them go. Embracing a growth mindset allows us to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as obstacles. When we work with ourselves, we tap into our innate potential and unleash the power within us to pursue our dreams relentlessly.
I strongly believe that if we seek excuses, we will always find them. Behind those excuses lies the fear of dismantling our own mental structures and facing the unknown. However, when we truly love something and possess a deep passion for it, the once-unknown aspects become integrated into our being. We discover our inner strength, realizing that these seemingly unconquerable territories are actually natural extensions of ourselves. They are intricately connected to our essence.
So, I just want you to think about the dreams you have, and look for those limiting beliefs that are holding you back to get where you really want.
