Denise, I start in Lightroom both basic tones and colour, but of sharpening etc, then sync across a series of images. I then open them all in photoshop and apply focus stacking to get the depth of field required. From there I creat a new layer and …

One of ther shots form today in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan, South west of Sydney. Little bit of rain about today, need a lot more but still good to see. This ones of the Waratahs coming out today.

Todays Mushroom shot was taken this morning in the Australian Botanic Gardens. Tried a slight different take on the post processing on this one, almost looks a bit cartoonish on this one, something different.

Yes there are a few out there that do this, two methods that I know of one blast light through them and mask in several shots to get the effect the second method is using little LED lights in locations and mask out the lights. There’s quite a few …

These Desert peas as the name sugests come from the arid regions of the country, I've seen them in the wild and the Gardens certainly have a few. A few years ago I had them growing in a hanging basked, was doing well for a while. Surprised to hear …

Another one that comes out is the Sturts Desert Pea, these are bright red with a Black centre the colours are so vivid, these are a ground growing plant but also grow well in hanging baskets. This ones taken in the local botanic Gardens where I do …

Always amazed at all the colours and shapes flowers come in, this ones an Isopogon petiolaris (Drumsticks) in the Australian Botanic Gardens Mount Annan South west of Sydney taken this Saturday.

OK you got me there no, Shrooms to be found so had to coax a turtle into some modelling for me. Always amazing to see all the different forms and shapes they become especially as they age. Some rain predicted for the end of the week so hopefully …

Then there's the stunning Red Waratah, the New South Wales state floral emblem.

Six months out of phase down here so Spring has arrived, with all the colour that goes with it, So here's a few spring flowers from down this way, Starting with the White Waratah I shot yesterday in the local Botanic Gardens, The Australian Botanic …

This week I revisited the site of last weeks mushrooms. Hot week here no rain (Well until this morning that was) so these poor ones didn't fair quite so well over the week. Now looking a little worse for wear now. Almost looks like he's wearing the …

As per most Saturdays I headed out today to see what I could find at the Australian Botanic Gardens, Had a few things to sort out this morning so left home after 12:00pm today, The Gates shut at 5:00pm all year around apart from Summer so limited …

Little bit of rain fell this week at long last, so that meant I was able to find a shroom or two today, not a great selection, but still one shot today in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan.

Comes with practice, Always good to find orage mushrooms in the green, colour certainly makes a shot like this. This shot below is a good one for colour, but the composisiton isn't quite there, sort of needs one more in the lower right, maybe I'll …

Well what can I say to this request, Hmmm I may have a mushroom shot or two somewhere? Feel free to add any to the Shroomshot Saturday stream / feed here. https://www.cake.co/conversations/TgW2t3c/shroomshot-saturday/YKsSc6t

No mushroom shooting today, so another from the archives for this week. Hopefully some in the coming weeks. But the good news I have several years worth in if needed.

Always impressive to see what comes out of this one each year. Imagine the poor judges having to narrow this down then select the final winners out of these. Can only dream of getting these sort of shots. One day maybe. There's always hope.

Sounds like a plan, just checked where they grow, they grow in teh Northwest corner of my state so thats a plus, its only 1515km away or 19 hours 30 minutes drive from Google maps. Suprisingly not something I think we have in the local Botanic …

Very windy here today, peak gust today at 92 km/h today so not the best day to head out under trees to look for Mushrooms today. So no shooting today, I'll head out tomorrow and see what I can find but for now heres one I took a few years back but …

Only managed to find one small set of Mushrooms today, they were in a garden bed in the Australian Botanic Gardens that I couldn't get to with my lights so todays shot is one from the past also taken in the Australian Botanic Gardens.

I've got a few Photographers to throw into the mix. Coming from a different corner of the world down here, I've got a few that may not be on the radar up there. The first is Steve Parish, a mate of mine. I've done a few photography trips with Steve …

Chris be worth giving them a go. Light source maybe a little on the small side but still worth giving them a go UV light may not need as much light, really haven’t looked into it to see how to play with it yet. I’ll have to check out Don’s info and …

Another cool start to the morning here below zero again today, then up over 25 during the day, again no rain this week. The only fungi I found today was a few puff balls in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan. Bit of rain predicted for next …

So far I haven't played with UV photography, But certainly looks great. @donkom whould be a great place to check out his amazing UV shots. https://www.donkom.ca/category/ultraviolet/ Don's work is certainly impressive and his posts always give …
