Hi all :biggrin: :wavey:
Been out photographing fungi today, absolutley loads around and excellent conditions so a good day, think this is one of my favourites from the day, a really simple shot but I just love the background.

As an aside as I was photogrpahing another fungi I felt something watching me turned round to see a stag with the most fantastic pair of antlers watching me, whats more it was in a patch of sunlight in the trees, why does this happen when you have a macro lens on, the tripod wedged into a tree and no chance of doing anything about it, soon as I moved to try and get the camera off it troted, never mind. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

techs
D300 105mm macro, tripod, remote release f11/1/4, gold reflector.

All comments welcome as always.

Agree with Matt's comments.
I assume all your fungi will be taken with a long telephoto from now on. :wink:
