letumgo 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 The recent rains have brought out a crop of mushrooms. Once I noticed them I saw them all over the place when I was walking through the local woods. The variety was surprising. Hope you enjoy these shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Hi Ray, I like them all but I have to ask, "Did you lay the twig on #3 (upper right corner)?" Just wondering. Take care & ... Tight Lines - Al Beatty www.btsflyfishing.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks guys. Al, I did not place that stick on the mushroom. It was already there when I noticed it. The mushroom either grew up underneath the stick, or it fell off a tree and landed that way. I probably should have moved it for the photo, but I chose to shot it as Mother Nature presented it. The fun part of taking these photos was getting the prespective low enough. In most cases I had the camera right at ground level to try to show the underside of the mushroom (interesting textures). Fortunately my Pentax camera has a video display so I could still see to compost the picture. I'd have been down on my belly looking thru the view finder if I had used my Canon DSLR. At first I had missed the view finder on the Pentax camera, but now I have gotten to depend on the video display. I wish my Rebel had the same feature. - Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
