Stacking focus on fungi

I was taking the dog for a walk … honest! Then I got slightly off track and found all these within a 5 metre area. She is old and I think just enjoys getting out of the house with me for a sniff as much as the walking/distance part. Anyway, I started sniffing about for fungi.

I was in the same area where I found the dark green velvety one’s I took a post or two earlier – but couldn’t see a trace of them. As I looked harder, I kept finding some very small hidden gems among the under-story leaf litter. The shot above was so small, it’s a combination of two stacked shots in Photoshop, but basically out of camera.

Every time I take a series of shots, upload, trawl through them on the PC and edit the keepers, I find mistakes or imperfections and try to improve…
