Great shots, Rodney. I really like your treatment in the second one. They do indeed look like little huts.

Where was the last one? I don't remember seeing that.

Nice macro work Rodney. Dragging the tripod along always pays off. :D

The last was along that main bit of road just near where we parked originally (opposite direction from the avenue of autum trees). There were hundreds of these red suckers and they were huge - some as big as a dinner plate.

Actually all these were taken hand held (with fill flash to get a decent shutter speed)... but yes I did use the tripod quite a bit (mostly for all the landscapy ones at ISO 100).

Nice work Rodney. I should have names for these ones somewhere if you need them. The last is an Amanita muscaria.

nice work on teh second image - the only improvement from my end would be compositionally, the top fungi feel cutoff, maybe intersecting these with teh top left corner or going a fraction wider or composing slightly lower might have helped? all easy stuff in hindsight though! Are you happy with them?

Thanks Gerry - thats interesting because I must have been thinking the same sort of thing at the time of capture because the very next shot I took the following by moving back a little - but in post I didn't like it as much (myself). (both images are uncropped).

Nice stuff Rodney.

#1 looks marginally under.
I prefer the reworked shot that you posted.
