      It was! I had to darken the image in photoshop to be able to see the details of the fungus, and even still, it's not as clear as I would have liked. Posted 5 years ago

        I haven't done a deep dive on the why, but I can confirm that cameras have a big problem with resolving details in super bright red. I've had the same problem a few times, and only with such reds. Photoshop won't help as I think the camera didn't even capture the information. Still not sure why. Posted 5 years ago

          Huh. Yeah, weird. It's like there are blank spots in the red where the details weren't even recorded. Posted 5 years ago

            Here's a discussion about lack of details with reds:
