This has been a really great Autumn so far for fungi.
Here are a couple of the more interesting and a nice little group.
Critique would be most appreciated. Some of the lighting was a little harsh as I do not carry my soft box out with me on hikes.

Colin,

No softbox while you're out hiking? Talk about being a wuss! :)

I love all of them; these fungi are quite obviously out to have a good time.

The third one, in particular is wonderful. It's almost a party. I'd like to see a tad more sharpness in this one. It's not that it's OOF, but it looks to me as if just a nudge more USM might be in order.

Thanks Gary,
Can you tell which is the fungi at the party though?
I probably forgot to sharpen after resising.

Given the date, that would be me.

That may well be what I'm (not) seeing.

Cheers.

Colin great stuff esp on the last one.

Surely you can carry one of those lumiquest soft jobs in the bush? :wink:

Thanks all
Big V, if anything it was more purple.

I only have a cardboard home made job Surenj, and it is not so good in the rain either :D

love the second one; I find the first almost alien.
