Whilst wondering around the garden I discovered these toadstools and decided to experiment. The camera was handheld using the telephoto lens (70 - 300 mm). I wanted a reasonable depth of field - f/11 was a compromise. Since the camera was hand held I could not reduce my shutter speed any further even with image stabilisation, so the ISO setting was increased to 800.
f/11; ISO 800; 1/25 second; focal length 123 mm
f/11; ISO 800; 1/30 second; focal length 128 mm
f/11; ISO 800; 1/30 second; focal length 76 mm
f/11; ISO 800; 1/30 second; focal length 123 mm
The final image has been chosen to be in the final folio. My initial thoughts were delight at the colours and varying textures shown. If I could get a lower perspective it might prove interesting, as possibly might be a narrower depth of field.
f/5.6; ISO 200; 1/20 second; focal length 150 mm
This image I find fascinating as the various colours and textures are shown. Possibly a closer image , a narrower field of view and brighter light would help to produce a livelier and more interesting image
Well composed images of beautiful fungi with strong colours.
