Re: PESO - Wide angle macro

Jostein, That's interesting! My father was a good mushroom "hunter", i.e. he knew when, where and how to find them. But in a way, we were "snobbish": we focused primarily on some "elite" mushrooms that we liked and ate. And we were not taking some of those that other people around us would

Igor, they have been moved to a different genus in the same botanical family, but are definitely related. In Norway we use kantareller as a common denomination for all the mushrooms carrying their spores on what looks like branched ribs rather than tightly packed lamellas (gills?) (eg. the

I didn't even know those ones were also called chanterelles. I am looking at the images posted on the web for "Craterellus tubaeformis" and for most of those, - I would never have called them "chanterelles" . And we were not gathering/eating them. By the way, - the wikipedia page mentions

Jostein, very nice photo showing lots of detail! I was confused by grayish-brownish (darker) color on top, which was reminiscent of some spices of Lactarius. I am more used to more yellow(ish) color throughout. So, I was wondering if that was a regional variation an effect of weather?

Re: PESO - Wide angle macro

Chanterelle is the name I was trying to pull out of my brains data bank...I have eaten them but over here we have something called a JAck O-Lantern which -could- be mistaken for them and those are poisonous - those are close to looking like what you have photo'ed.  There is a brightly colored

Thanks Ann, Actually this is another of the safe species. The cantarella-ribs under the hat that tapers off down the stem, is a definitive characteristic. -At least for Norwegian species. Jostein Den 30.09.2017 17:40, skrev ann sanfedele: Lovely composition... wondering if those are edible

Apropos mushrooms, Here's one shot from the local forest today, made with the K-5 and a DA 10-17 fisheye on a 2X Tamron TC. Lit by a small flash on camera, diffused with some polyethylene foam bag (IIRC, a small pocket of protection foam received with an order from RRS a good while ago).

Thanks for comments! You are probably right about background and about ends of bulbs being too bright. The funny thing is: there is almost no precessing of the photo! I had white balance corrected, cropped (slightly) and dialed vibrancy down a little. It was the first time I tried to use wide

Well chosen poppy, but its position and the busy background, detract. If you're willing and able to substantially softened the background, I'd sure try it! Jack --- On Tue, 2/24/09, Sasha Sobol sa...@asobol.com wrote: From: Sasha Sobol sa...@asobol.com Subject: PESO - wide angle
