NF-SOOC-September - Day 1: Little pink toadstools.

This is my first image for NF-SOOC-September. What's that all about? Well it's a challenge I've set myself - and hopefully some of my fellow 365ers will join me - to shoot only with a 50mm (or equivalent) lens in September and to post all images as they came out of the camera without any other processing or cropping. You can read about it here - http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/23475/back-to-basics-who-s-up-for-a-big-challenge-in-september

How about joining me?

[Christine]

Great shot

[Karen H]

Well done sooc, but these are strange little stools

[Shanne]

great idea - this is a lovely image - have fun with the challenge. (I've done it in the past and it really makes you concentrate on composing shots)

[Tom]

A very interesting challenge you have set for yourself Richard. Lovely image

[Joan Robillard]

Don't think I have this kind of talent yet so I'll stay with my processing. But this is fabulous. Very reminiscent of our friend @francoise. Really looking forward to this month from you.

[Richard Sayer]

@tosee Thanks Tom - care to join me? You would be good at this - you have such an excellent eye for a photograph.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor The very idea of it scares the pants off me Joan! I wanted to do something to push myself as I'm now two thirds of the way through my project ( and that just amazes me) and it would be so easy to fall into a rut (definition of a rut: a shallow grave!) so I thought I would do either SOOC or Nifty Fifty. Mrs S said, "Do you have to choose - can't you do both?" When I looked a bit taken aback at this prospect she said, "Well do you want to get better or not?" Well I do, soooo... NF-SOOC-SEPT it is!

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse She's a tough cookie. I want to improve too but you have to learn to walk before you sprint. You my friend are sprinting.

[Terry Molvik]

Great shot.

[Kate]

This is a beautiful shot, great lighting. Good luck with your quest. Very admirable!

[Graeme Stevens]

Superb, great lighting and focus.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful light, focus, detail.

[Jo Henn]

Beautiful shot; lovely composition.

Do I picture you belly down on the ground to capture this?

[Ukandie!]

Fantastic capture, and even more so as it is SOOC. Good luck with your challenge.

[Kellelynne H. Riley]

Beautiful colors and depth of field!

[Debs Stott]

Great idea for pushing yourself Richard. I sadly don't have a dedicated 50mm lens, my small zoom will give me too many options! Might try the SOOC idea though.
Beautiful light and comp, looking forward to seeing your month.

[Annie D]

this is an awesome first image - it scares me to even try - but I will give some a go - not sure if whole month yet because my head is still not sure what I plan hahahaha

[Pete Roberts]

Nice pov Richard - unusual looking toadstools

[Keith Porteous]

Great idea Richard. I was going to make a joke about the colour of your stools but I am far too mature for that sort of thing......Fabulous first effort!

[Fisher Family]

A lovely macro shot! I love the soft foreground - Lucy

[Janiskay]

I have been wanting to do this for a while and maybe one day I will but not at this moment. I will look forward to seeing what you will do with it! Love your stools pink as they are. ;-) Guess I am not too mature huh?

[Margaret Obey]

Great find and capture

[Richard Sayer]

@johenn I didn't Jo - I would have done but it was messy, muddy, wet forest floor - so I put the camera on the ground instead.

[Danny G.]

Brilliant SOOC capture!

[Lovise Meltzer Rygh]

Lovely composition!
