Nice mushroom clump and good texture in the wood in the FG. I wonder, though, if a little fill flash or a reflector would have lightened up some of that very dark area just to the right of the fungi.
Susan, was this on the ground or growing up a tree? It's an interesting angle you caught here.
this clump of mushrooms was growing up in a tree. it was quite the balancing act to get this photo. I agree a fill flash would have been a good option, but did not have my flash with me at the time.
Hey Susan, I agree with the fill light, I always carry a 12" reflector and have use it many times for this type of shot. Works really well and it's less hassle then carrying a flash. I like the deails, but wish it had more DOF to even out the details through to the top.
