That's very effective Pat, I love them.
When I am out photographing Fungi I often find myself standing still and looking at the angles and pattern in the trees around me. Could become quite obsessed with photographing it.

ha ha i know what you and others mean now trevor, for the last twenty years i have been fascinated with WA fungi and wild flowers and now i am deffo going down south to photograph perhaps a hidden passion! i have just ordered some "macro extensions" trevor, i do not know if you are familiar with them or not, but you can get "real close" to your subject

Yep, aware of them Pat. A tip tho: use manual focus to control ur depth of field. Auto will often focus on the front edge of a fungi and half the DOF (between camera and fungi) is not of any use. Using manual you can focus on areas u choose to increase the area in focus to ur own liking.
It's a very relaxed and pleasant pastime taking the photos, and just as enjoyable processing the,
Have fun - Trevor

ps - if ur on Fbook then look up Australian Wild Mushroom Hunters and join the group. Some excellent photographers there and we all help with Identification
