That is another charming pixie parasol from the verdant forests of Mount Macedon, Victoria, near the historic Lake Sanatorium. The image was produced through focus stacking, combining fifty exposures to achieve remarkable clarity and depth. I previously attempted to stack one hundred exposures; however, the resulting image was of inferior quality compared to that obtained with fifty shots.
The panorama displayed here depicts Joel and myself engaged in foraging amidst the dense and ancient woodlands of Mount Macedon. These forests, renowned for their towering mountain ash and cool temperate flora, surround the serene Lake Sanatorium—a place rich in both natural beauty and historical significance.

The light and sharpness of your Pixie Parasol is impressive. Stacking images has payed off well. That looks like a great place for forage for mushrooms. You not only found mushrooms, you also got some great photos.
ReplyDeleteHeading to Sydney in a week. So not planning to do much in this cold weather
DeleteI can almost smell the rich, peaty earth of your panorama.
ReplyDeleteYes, the earthy wood smell
DeleteTwo outstanding photos. I enjoyed both very much. The one of the forest floor with you and Joel on one side was truly lovely. The dark shot with the blue mushroom focal point was magical. I never knew there was such a thing as a blue mushroom so I looked them up. Fascinating to find out about them, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been a mission when we both learnt about it too
Delete...I love the drama of the first image.
ReplyDeleteIt is of a hard effort
DeleteDos bellas fotografias. Me encanta la primera, una buena macro, sobre todo por como has administrado la luz iluminando el hongo.
ReplyDeleteThe nature lighting is of pure luck
DeleteThe luminous blue Pixie is out of this world! You sure are an expert with the camera. I bet there are so many small wonders in this woods!
ReplyDeleteIt is my main mission to look for them usually in May each year

ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana..
Usually people destroyed them so no one else can find them
DeleteThere is so much beauty in that type of bushland but what terrible damage fire can do to the forest.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful photos. Well done.
