Fungi

Anyone else care to share their fungi photos with me?

Re: Fungi

Very nicely done! Superb lighting. Did you use a reflector or flash?

Here's a reworked one from two years ago. I found this growing right on the edge of a hiking trail - its siblings had been crushed by passersby.

Thanks... neither.

For some reason I can't see your images tonight. I just see a red dot.

Confused Maybe try later. I can see them?

Another rework. Perhaps one of my favourites.
This is commonly called Witches' Butter (Tremella mesenterica - Yellow brain fungus, Golden jelly fungus, Tripe fungus, Tremelle jaune (French)).



Better larger! Smile

I'm having the same trouble with seeing your images Evolution.

Very nice - I like the burred foreground.

Can I make a suggestion though? Not a critcism, but be aware of all the frame - the twig on the foreground is very distracting.

Also (doesn't apply to this shot, but often does with fungi) carrying a pair of nail scissors in your camera bag is great for when you need to do a bit of gardening (removing distracting grass from around the subject).

Good advice. I had tried to clone out the twig at the side and got frustrated because it made it look worse  Shocked - this was just a quick shot that I spotted just as I was leaving the park (running out of time to get home for J), and I went back to take it again the next day! I will now have to double check and see whether that rogue twig is in the other shots.

Shirley - nice but feel too many distractions around the image.

John - lovely fungi

Will have to go and look for some now.

Hrm, this looks like it has pasted onto the background. Nice composition and DoF though Smile

pasted? How do you mean?

Like it is two seperate shots and the shroom has been pasted onto the background from a seperate image.
the neepster

I wish I knew how to do that. Was all in place but was a hurried shot. I went back and took some more but haven't uploaded them yet.
