Tiny White Mushrooms on Dead Wood

Most of these were on a detached, wrist-thick branch, making positioning easier than usual. these caps were 3-4mm across and photographed with a FOV of 17mm thorough my Printing Nikkor 150mm, at f11, with triple TTL flash, hand-held.

I usually go for full depth focus on the subject but have included some images with differential focus. The viewing angles gave me no choice but I quite like the results.

The third image and the cross-eye stereos have been cropped significantly.

    Fantastic find and shots! I would consider cropping the first one to isolate the gem on left.

    Thanks. The first one has been heavily cropped already. I did consider that but the original right side of the frame is still there and there is nowhere to go to the right.

    Thanks, Wayne.

    The issue here was getting the stem and cap all in acceptable focus without the group of open caps behind (out of frame, to the right) the one featured being included and distracting attention.
