p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lichen On Rock In Corsica


I have made some effort to identify this and, in the search, saw something about the adjacent island, Sardinia, having a huge number of species. I think I will just leave it until a name turns up.

These were on a steep, rocky roadside slope in the Calanches de Piana area.

EM-1. Olympus ED Digital 70-300 at 141mm, 1/1600 and 1/1000 f8 ISO 200, aperture priority, hand-held, sunlight. AF would have been used.

Another shot, at f11, of the third one might have been useful.

Thanks. I try to show some of the range of subjects which photographers might overlook.

Lichens are available in all climates and all seasons, from seashore to woodland.

Great work Harold. I love the abstract look of what could be the surface of another planet.

Thanks, Morris. Welcome to my world!

I see this as similar to images of old coloured paintwork on abandoned or neglected buildings.

That first shot looks like a shirt I wore one evening. It must have been fun because I don't remember any of it... Another neat set Harold. I really like the detail ~ Ron

Thanks, Ron.

The detail in the bottom half of the second one is not so good. I don't remember the details of the shoot, except that I may have been straddling the gap between two boulders.

I do remember that the European Vanessa butterfly was around at road level but I didn't get more than a rear view. I wa probably climbing up in pursuit. The lichens were certainly not close enough to the road to see any detail from there and were a find on the way back down.

I love these pictures. And I endorse everything that Harold says about overlooking the commonplace.

Thanks, rocco61 and Ed.

Ed, I find the problem is when to stop shooting.
