Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Water!


Here are a few photos of very tiny water drops which clung to a mushroom or fungus growing out of the shady side of a tree stump. I like how they look so round, the seem to be caught in motion while rolling down the side. But they were all stationary, in reality.

In the first photo above, my flash had failed to fire, so this picture is the result of some extreme exposure adjustment to compensate for the lack of light. But I like the color and graininess anyway, so here it is. The other photos are the result of my flash firing as I'd planned and are fascinating for their own reasons. I like the look of the focused light landing on the mushroom surface after having traveled through the lens of water.







Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

Play That Fungi Music, White Boy



The pod above is about the same thickness of the pin point I posted several weeks back. And look at all that detail around its little edge! Pretty cool.

Below is a picture of a mushroom that I flubbed by over-exposing it, but I like the look after dialing in some contrast, so, whatever.
