myco Posted February 28, 2014 beautiful shots i really gotta get my new lens before winter comes around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted February 28, 2014 Love the pics Looks like he's used a process known as focus stacking which is really important to get that depth of field. Basically you set the camera to take a number of photos at consecutive focuses and then once the files are uploaded onto your computer, a fancy program splices all the focused bits together. It's quite easy to do apparently, but just adds to the overall time required to get an awesome pic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_stacking 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anodyne Posted March 1, 2014 Those hairy mycena are incredible! Does anyone know what species the "white mycena" are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted March 1, 2014 They're still flat-out describing all the different genera let alone the species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted March 1, 2014 Those "hairy Mycena" look like they may be infected with a parasitic fungus such as Spinellus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exogenesis Posted March 10, 2014 Great photos. Just like Myco, I've got to get my kit sorted prior to the cold season arriving. Just deciding between the 60mm and the 100mm @ 1:1 - and to be fair, how much time I will commit to on-the-move macro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sulik114 Posted March 16, 2014 Bloody awesome photos, they all look very delicate and refined but that birds nest mushroom looks amazing with the 'eggs' inside. Wonder what medicines may be in hidden in these varieties? Sometimes I wish I was a research scientist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted March 16, 2014 The birds nest fungi is fairly common... just ridiculously tiny that 99.9% of the world would walk right past it. First time I saw one I flipped! One of the most unique type of fungi i've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
