Of Mushrooms and Moss

p.1 #1 · Of Mushrooms and Moss


We have had a lot of wet warm weather here - part of the "atmospheric river" that is causing so much flooding on the west coast. Locally, this has resulted in the snow disappearing at lower elevations and a return of some mushrooms (which I missed a month ago)

Here's a little fellow I found Sunday going in some moss - it is only 1/2 - 3/4" in diameter. Lots of manual focus bracketing with the 65 APO starting at minimum focus distance. All natural light - nothing additional. Cropped in to about 90mm?


Best holiday Wishes to All!!

I think your perspective is great. And the layers of texture in the foreground and background add a very unique depth to your photo.

How many pictures did you stack? Looks great! the color tones are just right.

Thanks for the kind comments, "Sorry".

I took a sequence of 28 photos, just barely nudging the focus ring of the CV 65 each time. I think I used about 25 of those to stack. It certainly would have been a lot easier with the "focus bracketing" more modern cameras have with autofocus lenses!

Cheers

Doug
