Found in pretty well only one place… listed as endangered in 2002.
I really needed a few extra frames in the focus stacked image (front focus) , however these little red 'shrooms grow in really tight areas and it was a struggle to even get the camera near them without doing any damage.
even with these at f22 and 15 images it was a struggle to capture the full depth of field… these are really tiny by the way.
Exif love:
15 frames focus stacked.
D750 coupled with Nikkor 55mm f2.8 @ 55mm Aperture: f22 and Shutter Speed: 1/60s
ISO 500
Lightning goodness : SB600 off to the right triggered thru onboard flash bounced off the dirt 😉
Extraordinary capture, the light is fantastic, details stand out in an exceptional way and color red seem phosphorescent! That's incredible! +Gerard Blacklock
+Gerard Blacklock wow, they look like delicate little things! I can see your dilemma. You managed a great result nonetheless! 🙂
Aren't they(mushrooms) poisonous??
Superb shot 😍
beautiful capture, amazing!
So Beautiful Gerard; ))
Have a wonderful day my friend
A few more frames would certainly have helped +Gerard Blacklock but there is enough depth of field to get the gist. Just that front mushroom that looks a little fuzzy. A macro rail really helps for these. You can grab a cheap but robust one from http://www.photo-shop-studio.com.au (I paid $30 for mine) the store is on Parramatta Rd in Ashfield/Croydon. Nice job on the lighting though mate, have you considered using a Pringles can as a macro adapter it works a treat.
Thankyou +Patrizia Melis , yeah the red is very vibrant! I hope you had a great weekend.
+Tom Testone
cheers mate – I hope you had a good one!
+Hyun Kyung Kim

Thankyou +sophie DIDIER
Thankyou +Anna Rimovska

yeah just on the front side, i was kicking myself when I saw it on the computer 🙁
I drive past that place often and you are the third person to recommend them.. i think I am going to have to go in there and lighten my wallet a little…
The pringles can would work well with the 105mm lens, the problem I have with teh 55mm is that at 1:1 you have to be ontop of the subject!
Hey i lost track of"Opera house"post, I miss that place..it was under construction back in 2014.
Thanks for the share, Gerard
+Gerard Blacklock thanks mate had an awesome one! Weather was very kind this weekend (after the frigid starts!) 🙂
+Gerard Blacklock for the Pringles can adapter you cut it to the length you need with a 45° at the end. Cover this in rice paper. The silver tube delivers the light into a direct overhead light source which is then softened by the paper. Not ideal but a great budget fix.
+Gerard Blacklock Thanks Gerard; ))
Hope your weekend was good to my friend
Interesting photo Gerard !
Vibrant reddish tiny 'shrooms!!
Have great weekend
