After finding the compost, locating the friend that did it and making a trip to the local pound shop, we made compost castles outside his door.
Fungi in my Compost Bin. I had in that compost bin, rotting Malay Apples, small tropical fruit. These fungi were growing and I actually had my head in this bin to get these closeups. It sounds gross but they are small and I had to get close to get the macros, and the bin did not smell. LOL. A few more of these can be seen in this SET:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/sets/72157594504333027/
This black thing is our "bio-orb" composter that I found on clearance at Menards. I like a futuristic looking composter, but I think that it's time that we got a second, as this one is getting "mature" and is ready to provide soil. The second would start the process again, from the beginning. The stain underneath the composter is "compost tea," a vile, but nutrient rich liquid that leaks from the composter. Probably tastes great. If you're a plant.
Out playing with the Flashpoint Radio Triggers. I was shooting to have a small portion of the photo properly illuminated, with the rest slight underexposed. I think this technique works better with a wide angle lens. I did use some home-made barn doors to limit the light spread.

Short Description: A book of 17 photographs taken of my compost caddy whenever I found the contents interesting because of the colours or composition of elements or both. The photographs were taken with natural light from a skylight which gives a variation in the speed and aperture used. This information is recorded on the facing page with date of capture. The camera used was always a Sigma DP2 with Foveon sensor.

Anyone need some free compost? Well, if you can get up here to Fairbanks, there's a free pile of composted, er, "waste matter" from the sewage treatment facility off of Peger Road (or wherever it's located here) that's yours for the taking.
They've got quite a fair amount of composted sewage down there which they're more than eager to sell you, either by the truckload or cubic yard.

My wife and I have been composting for over 30 years, long before it was popular to do so. Actually, back then, it was not unheard of to be ordered by one's city or municipality to stop composting.
