I can't believe that my first posting since moving to the Isle of Mull back in June is of fungi. not that I haven't been getting the classic Mull shots, was just looking for something a bit different.
C&C welcomed.

Canon 30D, Sigma 50mm macro, 1/8 @ f20, 100 iso

hi bob

great shot, dof, colour and subject matter - are they edible ?
hope at a later date you can post some native animal shots from the isle of mull its a great place, i have been there once - it tipped with rain the whole day, so spent the time in your local pub up the hill on the right, in front of a open fire with a pint

all the best

a very nice scene, well captured. I don't normally think about photographing fungi until October, but maybe I should start earlier :smile:

I wondered where you had landed :biggrin: Shame it was Mull - I hope B&B is on offer.

Keep those eyes open :eek: rumor has it there's a 'wee bit of wildlife' on Mull, but you already knew that.

Best of luck

I really like this. The vegetation is lovely as well. Have just started photographing fungi. Quite intriguing specimens. I have yet to learn the names. :smile:

Magic mushrooms! An ethereal quality to this picture Bob.

I knew a move was on the cards but didn't realise you'd gone. Hope it'as all you hoped for living up there.

Very nice indeed.. really like the DOF and perspective of this shot. As Tim mentioned the colours and tones really make this quite ethereal..

Hello Bob.

I think fungi shots can be very nice when the setting works, and the setting here is excellent.

Just love this.

Top quality shot, might seems strange but i think given the right framing it would work very well on my wall !
