It's the mushroom season here on the farm so I grabbed the macro lens and tripod, braved a long sleeve cotton shirt in the heat to ward off the mosquitoes, and headed to the woods with dogs in tow.
I was rewarded with a ton of shots.
This shot is very similar to the one I used for the macro challenge but I did do more than just convert it to B&W.
I wanted to have an exceptionally well focused shot for this BW challenge since one of the mandates of the f-64 group was sharp focus and clarity.
So, I did a focus stack since I do not have either a full frame camera or a lens with a f-64 aperture.
They would not have approved of photo manipulation, but ... you do what you gotta do to get the job done!
Thank you!
It's so good to get the honest opinions of others rather than the usual 'nice shot', etc.
