Title: Lichen and mushrooms on a cloudy afternoon
Post by: Bob_B on January 02, 2015, 01:45:10 pm

I took a nature hike along the Gunpowder River in upper Maryland (US) a few days ago. It was cloudy, past 3pm, and soon to rain: just about the softest light you can find. No birds or other wildlife, but lots to observe and photograph. Here are two photos from that trek. I hope you enjoy them. C&C welcomed.

Canon 7D
EF 24-70mm
ISO 3200
1/640 @ f/6.3

I like #2 - as a good nature shot but also as an almost abstract image. The light works well imo.

I also like #2. To me, in #1 the mushrooms are too small in the frame.

Another vote for #2. I like the green lichen.

Thanks for the comments. The lichen photo is my favorite too.
