The last was shot with my trusty Pentax 12-24. I have not done that many Marco's but given the weather lately I may be trying more. JIM

Nice shrooms Jimbo. And where do you find such gorgeous woods. Mine don't look like that. TFS

Thanks Susan. Marco is new to me. The park is only about 15 minutes from where I live. It was pouring rain. JIM

Wow, I love that wide angle shot through the forest. Well done on all three though.

**Sailor** · 09-19-2010, 03:20 PM

Great macros, buddy. I love the feel of the mushroom shots.

Be careful, macro is addictive

Love the shots!

Nice work Jimbo. I've been playing a lot with the macros myself. Fun fun stuff. I do love the woods in the rain though. I miss those moss-covered trees in that part of the world. Gorgeous.

Thank you Mel. When the weather is not good for my landscape shots I try macros. JIM

Really like the shot of the forest. We've got a lot of trees like that but I always have a tough time shooting them well. Nicely done!

**Ash** · 09-19-2010, 11:20 PM

Beatiful textures in those captures Jim. Good results from the 12-24.
Good to see you keep enjoying going out taking photos.

Thanks Ash and if I could I would be out every day of the week. JIM

The forest shot is especially successful. There's a point of interest created by a faint lighter vertical band about 1/3 in from the left, with a trees especially to the right seeming to converge on it as a vanishing point. That gives the photo a visual fix. I've taken many forest shots, but without such a subtle point to draw the eye, the overall composition doesn't work as well as this one.

You got was I was tryting to do with the left upper. I also believe it added a different texture the the greeny. I was also looking for more light in the background. The nest time I get there I may even light the foreground a bit in some areas with my car to show the bark a little better. Appreciate you taking the time to review my image, JIM

#3: Print, frame, hang. Done.
