Black Velvet


Well what do we have here now.......that is right its mushroom time folks. Another one of photography's favorite subjects, I do not know why but there is something awfully captivating about shooting mushrooms. It seems like every photographer does it and it is satisfying......cant tell you why lol, hmm maby its the details, colors and uniqueness about them that makes them so fun to photograph who knows. This big black ugly shroom was located in alert bay during a hike on the nature trail leaving the campsite. This island is loaded with mushrooms it is unreal, lots I recognize and lots I do not, this one I do not rite now never cared to look it up it was so jet black and velvety there is no way I want to eat it anyways lol. Free hand macro shots can be tricky and this one obviously involved me lying in the wet mud to capture...(photographers do stupid shit like that) It was also shot at F 7.1 to capture all the detail in the subject as I was about 3 feet away (my minimum focus range with this lens) I shot it at 50 mm or a 75mm equivalent then I cropped it to get in real close. I love the shot and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
