Taken with a Nikon CP900 digital camera. 35-mm equivalent settings 38-115 @ 97 mm, macro mode. 1:3.3, 1/96 sec. Hand held.

I was working with this image of a pair of mushrooms growing horizontally out of the knot of a tree when I saw Tim's fine post. Anyway, here goes.

I'm really like the soft tonal quality of the digital camera posts. Like the picture too, although can't seem to keep myself from wanting to tilt my head, as if they could be growing vertical as well. as i said nice image but hurts my neck. :-) do you know what mushrooms they are? I've never seen those. how light sensitive is the camera, I mean what kind of f-stop, or ISO equivalent could it be called? tim

Gary, this one is not up to your usual photographs! It is missing the great color that you used to capture and its composition and the overall impact is not as strong as the others. Better luck next time.

I accept Bahman's critque. I was working on a slightly larger and less compressed version which was marginally better but couldn't get it down to 50K. Tim, I don't know the species although I have seen at least one other growing, similarly, from the knot of a tree. (I'll post separately to you regarding your questions on the camera.)

Thanks for the input.

In order to free up space on my web site I have taken down this image. Thanks again for the input.
