OCOLOY Day 249: Signs of Autumn...

...fallen leaves and mushrooms.

This is for 'Square September' which you can find more about here - http://365project.org/discuss/general/28377/square-september

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

It pops a bit more on black...
Hi Richard, I read your bio, and as I know you will understand, because of what you say in it, whilst I would love to go back and view many of your photos, I simply can not dedicate the time. I agree with you about why people give up on this project and am coming close to this myself but am also finding that the project is helping me immensely to improve my photography. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for putting so much thought and effort into everything. So, this picture. I like the strong lines of the mushroom and the oak leaf lying in front. It is a pleasing composition with lots of texture. Autumn is definitely upon us here in UK and it is looking like you are not far behind in Brittany. Thank you for looking by on my project. I hope to be back on yours from time to time. Always enjoy the B&W shots and SOOC is admirable. I think I have you to thank for the square September challenge too. Most enjoyable. Apologies for the 'essay'

Amazing that processing this photo in black & white the mushroom actually appears to be made of stone! Colour is warmth & life it appears!

What a nice mushroom. Lots of texture on the cap.

Terrific textures and light in this shot...I agree with Helen Jane's comments :).

A fitting herald of Autumn. Lots more (photos) where these came from in the coming weeks.

Great detail and exposure, but the dynamic range seems to have been lost more mono tone than Black and white.

@gamelee Interesting observation Lee, and you're quite right - this is indeed monotone as the whole scene was just shades of brown, except for the grass at the top but it has a similar tonal value. There is, in fact, both pure white and pure black in this image - the specular highlights on the mushroom's cap and the shadow beneath it.

@vignouse I See your point Richard.

All of the textures make this a very pleasing b&w or mono or whatever. I like it! :)

Great shot of the mushroom and the leaf just in front of it.
