Thanks man! I've never heard them described as little baskets of bread, but it fits pretty well I guess.

Here's a couple more:

Pinwheel marasmius. There are orange ones like these two, but it seems that the slugs like to eat them and they get up earlier than I do After I shot those orange mycenas up above I went back less than twelve hours later and there was no trace of them. The slugs had eaten them all. There must be something about that orange pigment in the mycenas and marasmius that makes the slugs go wild for them.

Here's some more marasmius. This one looks more like a mycena to me. I don't know how anyone can tell the two genera apart. They are both in the Tricholoma family, and apparently very closely related.

Coral slime looks like bushes made of frosted glass on a ridge under a sunrise, with the right lighting. This whole landscape would fit on a fingernail.

A tree looking over an alien valley? Or slime growing on a rotten log? There are whole worlds hidden all around us.

:Q

LOL... I stared at the Pinwheel Marasmius, going.. WTF..

Then I finally saw the bigger one's stem.

Awesome pics. I'll have to use that treefrog pic for my background at home, my two year old daughter will love that.

Thanks for sharing.

Okay, here's a few I haven't posted on here yet. I've been experimenting with backlighting. With this shot I used the D60 with MP-E 65mm macro lens and my twin flash, but I handheld one of the flash heads behind the fungi for backlighting. In this one I used the same setup, except that I mounted a separate 550EX flash on a tiny tripod I bought just for this purpose, and put it behind and below the flower. My MT-24EX macro twin flash can control other Canon flash units wirelessly so I didn't have to use any cables or anything. In this shot I used my 180mm L f/3.5 macro lens along with a wireless transmitter to control two 550EX flashes, one on my little tripod above and behind the mushrooms, and the other on the ground in front of them. I really like the effect this produces on still subjects. It really makes them come alive so to speak.

Awesome!! Props to RossMAN for helping you with a website.

I really like the fungus cups picture!! It looks like an indian campsite setting, or something.. little baskets full of bread. It's awesome!

Thanks, it was my pleasure to help him out.

How much bandwidth have you used so far, log into your WHM and click View Bandwidth.

Just 185 megs. I haven't started to really pimp the site yet since it's so incomplete

Heh heh,

lirion, don't know why I never made the connection. I've been awed for a while by this guy who posts phenominal macro work over at FM (ROFL - at one time, I actually thought to myself that lirion over at ATOT would really enjoy this guys work! ).

Haven't been frequenting ATOT for a while and today I recognize some slime and mold images. Then there's that picture of your setup w/extension & flash brackets. And, the puzzle is complete!

Absolutely incredible, inspiring work lirion.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Lerion....we need to talk. I'd really like to get into photography, but I'm poor. And I know photography is an expensive hobby. If you don't mind, I'd like to PM you one day and pick your brain.

Yeah me 2, its such a beautiful hobby, especially around where i live, more landscapes though, do you know of any basic guides to photography, what bits you need to start out?

LOL, yeah, I've been whoring myself around over there lately I guess the interent makes the world smaller and smaller all the time. Fred Miranda's forums are pretty sweet. I'm glad you like my stuff.
