It's like going into a restaurant, having a great meal and telling the chef he must have a really good oven!

A little mushroom hunting today.

Good finds. Well captured and processed. Great work.

Thank you rayallen. They were everywhere in this parking lot. I tried to capture them as if they were in the wild.

John, I love the different colors and shapes of the mushrooms! Didn't realize there were so many varieties!

I know it was very Alice In Wonderland. These were actually in front of my wife's office.

Apparently they are Amanita muscaria or Santa Clause mushrooms.

Might be the same as the mushroom in this image (K3 + Bower 8mm fish-eye)

Do you use a softbox on your flash for outdoor portraits?

Thanks.

I use a Gary Fong Lightsphere which seems to work well considering I generally don't have time to setup light stands and I don't have anyone assisting me. Thought about trying the Rogue Flashbender XL as a sort of portable softbox solution.

We had a really nice and colorful sunrise this morning. Unfortunately, I was on my way to work and did not have a tripod. I did have my camera, though, so I got these shots - taken at the end of my driveway.

Could not find a label that identified this lazy fish. Hardly moved at all - just floated with its tail generally just touching the bottom.
