And finally for those that thou it’s safe to swim to safety a red bellied black snake having its early morning swim across the lake in the Australian Botanic Gardens. All fun down here.

Then there’s the lace monitors just hanging out of trees, also shot in the Australian Botanic Gardens.

Yeap we have all sorts of fun ones down here, Eastern water dragon sunning itself in my local Botanic Gardens.

G’day from down under from another from G+ still there as well but in the final weeks now, I’ll be there till the lights get turned out. But they are certainly turned on here at Cake. 🍰. Looking forward to seeing more of your shots here. This ones …

No mushrooms found this week, So something different this week, A shot of a Shoom bought at a local market Then a bit of lighting added.

I prefer the realistic environmental portraits rather than the shiny posed shots often shown. The environmental portraits are often shot on location of the subjects normal day to day life, so lighting is often a bit harder to work, but the results …

This week's Mushrooms shot was taken today in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan, not too many about today, still a bit warm thou there was a storm last night, Today in the Gardens I was checking out some locations for tomorrows workshop …

Yes you get all kinds of comments from people walking past as you take mushroom shots. This one is one of the few non wild ones this is from a similar box as in the post above, focus stacked with an extra shot taken of just the background to mask …

the 5d4 will work as is you just need the app, then you can drive the camera from the iPad it doesn’t have to be mounted to the camera as it creates its own local WiFi network. But if you want it mounted there’s probable a few hot shoe (cold shoe …

Pathfinder which Canon bodies are you using, there’s a canon app that allows remote shooting including focus and settings adjustments works on 5dmk4 and 7dmkii the later you need a wifi card in the sd card slot, both 6 d models also work. So you …

To get some decent details in a Moon shot (Bit like Mushroom shots) you need some side light on the craters so full moons aren't the best for seeing crater details, For blood moons you don’t have much choice but to start to see details look for …

This week another hot week here in Sydney but yesterday a cool change came through with some rain as well so better luck today, This set was from a tip-off from someone that posted a shot the day before, so I know where to look today, thou they …

Another hot week down here so no Mushrooms to be found yesterday, Though I was out looking but at 40 Deg C. I gave up and came home to the cool not so many birds about either in those temperatures. Heres one form a few weeks ago when I got a few in …

Thanks Bryan it will be interesting to see how it goes at that price point, certainly looks the goods, Waiting to see how Canon and Nikon respond to that especially Canon with there lack oh IBIS on the EOS R and this one doing 7 stops of …

Here's the blog post from a few years ago that covers focus stacking for those interested. pretty simple really if you have photoshop it pretty much does …

Yes that’s the next bit looking for the exciting mushrooms, not an easy trick finding the special ones. But anything that’s starting to look old and weather beaten is a good start. Have fun. Your well on your way now. Great work.

the second last shot is my favourite here. The last one looks like it would benefit from focus stacking. Take a series of shots manually adjusting the focus each shot with out moving the lighting or camera, it can take a little movement as …

Much better light quality big difference compared to the earlier ones. Looking good. Nice details, shadows are giving nice depth, looking good. I often put my shadow over the area when shooting to take off the harsh sunlight. Really liking these. …

Yes exactly the same thing, everyone you know about portrait photography apply to mushroom photography. You basically do a mini studio set up, so the bike lights are you hot lights and work from there. You have great subjects there lots of textures …

A day late with this weeks Mushrorm shot, Spent the last three days traveling on the road and not so much on line for a couple of days. Aslo quite hot out and about a swell, Drive 200 plus Km down south to the National Capital for a few days was …

Doing well there, Great start, Yes the headlight will work well, At the light awards grand final we were given the gear to shoot with and no speed lights, but I did hae ahead light as our instrustions were to bering a torch so it wasn't out side of …

yes agreed just needed some mist or fog and would have made the shot, should look at adding some in I guess. 😉

One of the last shots before it was clouded out.

My last attempt at the blood moon. Taken with in our local Botanic Gardens where I do most of my shooting, thought I’d ask if they would let me shoot at night and they told me to come and pick up the keys and help myself.

A pair of Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa) in flight over the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan. Hard enough getting a decent bird in flight shot but to get a shot with two both with the heads sharp, guess it was my lucky day last …
