What a fabulous shot! So many of my lichen shots end up washed out/too bright. Yours are so perfect, great job! Posted 6 years ago

    Yep! I've been experimenting and trying to learn different camera settings aside from just "A", lol. Posted 6 years ago

      Hey, you might want to try “Program” or “Aperture”. The second being my “go to”. Good luck. Posted 6 years ago

        Thanks for the tip. I've been using P more frequently, but was a bit too cavalier in changing the settings and now need to reset them, lol. Photography is a great learning experience :) Posted 6 years ago

    They are a wonderful mystery to explore, such complex life forms. And beautiful, I love lichens and sac fungi in general. I regularly just browse that section for pure visual entertainment:
