from a recent session with Des Ong at a good site for Fly Agarics.

Canon 7D with Sigma 150mm, 2 shots stacked, each at f2.8, 1/160, ISO 200.

Here's a 1100 pixel version.

All C+C welcomed.

This is lovely :smile:
Your low viewpoint is spot on to show both the top and underside of the larger one.
A great shot, well done.

Geoff.

Cracking, the depth of field is spot on, as is the composition :toast:

Hello Matt.

Excellent shot.

I have been trying to get the same kind of shot, plenty of Fly Agaric around but just not worth photographing.

Pov is great and love the way you can see the red and the underside detail on the taller one, lovely colour

This is just superb! Composition, pov and background just make it. Nice specimens too!

Best image I've seen yet of these. I could do with some lessons :biggrin:

Tend to agree with Maggie on this one, a really fine fungi image, no nits from me Matt.

Nice - no nits from me either. Like the overall feel to the shot.

Hi Matt

A really great shot of this species and a quality natural history illustration to: I really like the fact you've chosen the fungi showing different stages of development and also picked a PoV that reveals the gills. Top shot.

My only minor nit would be it could do with a touch more space below the younger fruiting body. No biggy though.

Cheers,
Chris
