Mushrooms # againandagain
October 2022 - Belgium - Brussels
That shot was taken during my second attempt. Again a focus stack (4 shots) 1 for the Bokeh and 3 other shots, one for the mushrooms on the left and 2 for the "big one". Clearly I struggled in Photoshop since it was my first "complex" focus stack but I learned from my mistakes.. After all, I'm glad of the result !
Here are some key takeaways I note for myself from what I observed ;
- getting at" Mushroom level" is key, even below is better to see the stripes
- backgound is really important ; for this one there was a soft light in the background and no disturbeing elements ; that's why the background is clean.
- Sometimes you have to work without tripod becouse your head is literraly already on the ground, no place for a tripod (not the case of for thise one, it was on a trunck)
- the smaller mushroum the better
- for a nice bokeh ; try a wide aperture => I even did some focus stack with a F8 shot to sharpen the subject and keep the soft background of the wide aperture.
Nikon d750, 105 mm F/2.8 macro, F/8 at 0.8 secs, iso 100.
