Brownish orange fungi with spotted spores at Heeswijk-Dintherse Bossen, Netherlands

Note that this one is not as large as it appears on the photo, this is a wide angle (15mm) so close that I was almost touching it.

GREAT shot!!! I really like this picture. You must have gotten your elbows and knees a little dirty. Posted 10 years ago

  This was on an elevated trunk but yes I did get my knees dirty, but that's going to happen on any fungi trip anyway, so it's cool :) Posted 10 years ago

  Hehe. It really is an optical illusion as it is only about 5cm in size. To recreate such an effect, take a wide angle lens, move in as close to the subject as possible, then crop to only the subject. Posted 10 years ago

    Ah, you mean that very expensive lens that is sitting gathering dust in a cupboard. I really must use it for things like this rather than wait for a landscape day! ( I did actually take some really fun shots of horses with it though!) Posted 10 years ago

      I am underusing mine as well, but for static subjects it can be quite fun. It's also a nice change when doing macro so much, having the ability to also put some environment in a photo. There actually is this thing called "wide angle macro", a little used style, and therefore all the more interesting. Posted 10 years ago

This fungus has pores or tubes rather than gills. Posted 8 years ago
