Mushrooms And Fungi Of Any Kind

[Nemorino]

I really like the focus stacking with these subjects.

Mushrooms are perfect for focus stacking!

 

[Nemorino]

How many watt-seconds is that Samsung?

I do not know. Just a 2015 smartphone.

 

[Nemorino]

My few attempts at focus stacking left me with several halos to remove afterwards

There is also a halo in Henry's picture but very tiny. It is a unavoidable problem if near subject covers a far one. Another reason to frame carefully!

Tested the RF35 today with the R5 in-body focus bracketing:
Iso 200, f/1.8, 1/400, 11 frames

Beautiful. Did you hand hold or use a tripod?

 

[Nemorino]

The camera has been on the floor but also handheld. The focus bracketing is very fast especially wide open.

Edit:
About a second for eleven frames

Beautiful picture, Nemorino. Nicely done.

Thank You!

Another test R5, RF35 @ f/7.1, 23 frames


Above I mentioned the unavoidable halos caused by diffused subjects in front of another.
Thin subjects are sometimes very difficult:

Nicely done, Nemorino. Minimalist mushrooms?

Great image, Maximilian! Lemmings walking off a cliff come to mind.

 

[HenryL]

That’s quite neat, HenryL. My few attempts at focus stacking left me with several halos to remove afterwards. I like the gloss on the righthand mushroom.

Thank you! A couple of attempts had halos like that. I gather there is a way to fix those by masking layers and whatnot, but that's beyond me at the moment. Luckily one method in Helicon worked just fine.

Here's a couple from the last Australian Autumn:

Nicely done, Jethro. I really like the blue one.

Nicely done, Jethro. I really like the blue one.

It's a startling colour - and I only see them in one particular spot (every couple of years).

Six little ones in a base of a tree.

Smurf village?

 

[jprusa]

More often than not the Indian Pipe is often thought to be a fungus yet it is a flowering plant. It belongs to the Ericaceae (blueberry) family. This is one of about 3,000 species of non-photosynthetic flowering plants. Monotropa uniflora can actually grow in dark environments because it is not dependent on light for photosynthesis.

Nicely done. I especially like the first wide angle shot, stacking 23 photos. Viewed full frame, I feel like I'm right there, crawling around, checking out your mushrooms.
