I have spent the last couple of days shooting in Stockgrove Park and Linslade Wood. The leaves of the trees are changing to their autumn colours fast now! Soon they will dry and fall to the ground. However, the vast amount of falling leaves are creating the perfect conditions for the many different types of mushrooms that are found in the woods. I have been able to find them all over. I have been scratching through the fallen leaves rather a lot in the last couple of days, getting a little dirty doing this! Some of the pictures that I have been shooting of these tiny items, have come out really splendidly. I have discovered that mushrooms, are not the easiest of species to identify. I do have to mention that some of these pictures took quite a bit of acrobatic camera work!
I had to mount my Canon EOS1 DS Mark3 with my macro Lens Canon 100 2.8 in an upside down position on my tripod Manfrotto. I even had to use the live view facility on my camera because I was so close to the ground that I could not use the optical viewfinder at all.
