FERNS
Ferns are believed to be some of the oldest plants on the planet. They also boast an impressive diversity of species, shapes, and sizes. During our two most recent trips to the Azores archipelago and Madeira Island, I had the opportunity to take numerous photographs alongside our students. For this, I used my Olympus camera with a 12–100mm lens, and on many occasions, I also used a macro lens with a catadioptric design, which allowed me to capture richer, more detailed textures in the backgrounds.
