A lot of my Mushroom shots for the last two years are created by a technique call focus stacking. Where you take a series of images each one focused a little further into the scene and these images are then combined in some form of software to …

Always amazing to see the odd structure remain when everything else is desolated, similar after fires come through and you see the odd structure untouched. Guessing the architect and builders that built those few maybe in demand shortly.

Here's one imitating the tree.

Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) Often mistaken as part of the owl family, though it is nocturnal its not an actual Owl, there are several groups of these in the Australian Botanic Gardens and there favouite trick during the day is to look …

Following on from Chris's last comment this one really reminds me of Lord of the Rings Wraith world. On the Weekend I go out and shoot, but on the week nights I get to play with images and process them to see what I can come up with. Some things …

Inquisitive Brown Thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla) trying to work out just what I'm pointing at it in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan, South West of Sydney.

Yes but not a successful one that time. I watched and waited but only to a new spotting post where it sat and looked for something else. Can’t be lucky every day. Here’s a portrait shot to add to the collection. Best not to ask how many images I …

Also from google plus and trying differs things here to see how best to play, I’ve started a couple of conversations and treating them like collections to see how that goes, may end up a bit messy with the comments coming into the feed and not …

Now these ones are an actual Macro shot as they were only 3 to 5mm in diameter so tiny little ones, the Majority of my Mushroom shots are technically not classed as Macro shots as the size of the subject is larger than the camera sensor but …

Maybe with time others will come to play in the kitchen. Hope so.

G’day from Oz. A few of us refugees from google have landed here been here nearly a week now, so far so good. Like you I found google a great place with like minded people so looking for something similar to grow into. So far this seems to have …
