"Mushroom magic" shot unmasked/explained.

Please check out the shot of Mushroom magic -

Explore is up to mischief (far worse than the Pixie/Fairy in the shot itself!) and has picked the setup shot (I think it has a rule of 1 shot per day and it's picks the oldest!) to put into explore rather than the actual shot!!!!!! :->

Mushroom Magic shot here and here without the photoshop tweaks

 

I put up the setup shot for those photographic judges (landscapers are the worst!) who say things like "still life is easy" :-)

 

Strobist info - Brolly-softbox above. Home made softbox below the soil with gaps poked through it to catch the fog. Fog machine to the left in an Oveltine container with a hole cut in the side to direct the fog. Home made reflector acting as a bouncer for the fog. All triggered by the great cactus triggers.

 

Thanks to everyone for getting this to #1 in explore but what a shame that it's picked the setup picture to put in and not the ruddy shot itself!!!! :-)

 

Probably the strangest shot ever to hit #1!

Done
