Just beautiful John… how on earth did you get this lovely effect? I love this image.
Thank you, Carol!

I have taken many photos of this during the past week but I wasn’t happy with the results. In closeup, the stems were too waterlogged, translucent and reflective giving ugly highlights vs shadows. see sample image –
This time, I cut off the roots and let the shrooms dry for an afternoon, and shot it in HDR with nature light and a mirror to fill in the shadow.

Excellent! The pure, creamy whiteness of them makes them stand out and a perfect pov! :-)
this is great John! these things are hard to take good shots of, I haven’t managed a decent one yet!
Thank you, Jenny!
See my reply to Carol, maybe it will help :)
