Tilt adaptor and shrooms

Also from this past weekend, here are a couple mushroom shots from Henry Cowell State Park. These are taken with my tilt adaptor, Nikkor 20mm f3.5 and K-1 extension ring. The 20 and the tilt seem to be a perfect match, and along with the extension ring, you get some interesting closeup potential.

These mushrooms are tiny. The first was about as tall as a quarter standing on edge. The second is smaller than a dime.

The first caught my eye, and as I was setting up my shot, I saw this shiny green thing which I expected to be a banana slug (common in the area). I was surprised to see it was a mushroom as well.

Enjoy,

Doug

The mushroom in the first shot is soft & I find my eye drawn to the fern-like leaf coming out of the lower right corner.

Doug, you make me anxious to get one for myself. I occasionally watch his site--and remember that Pellicle mentioned that RJ/jinfinace might also have a tilt (or TS) adaptor.

You and I both like 'shrooms I guess LOL--this is one from late 2008 before I got my m43/rds. Its from 5D/45 f/2.8 TS (which I CAN shoot with on my m4/3rds but its long for most of my shooting on m4/3rds) with lens rotated.



Keep showing us what you are doing with this lens--I'm enjoying it.

RJ said in a couple of weeks, but I think the Chinese may still be celebrating the New Year (everything shuts down for at least a week or two).

Diane,
'Shrooms are hard for me to pass up. There is just something about them that makes me stop and shoot.

I really like your image, especially how you have set the focus. I am going to have to get more adventuresome with the focus. I am still tending to be too conservative with it.

The RJ adapter will be interesting, especially if it can shift as well. Course, I've recently blown my budget with the 7-14 and 20 (even at a discount, most of my discretionary funds...). I need to sell of some unused (unloved :) ) equipment...

Ron,
Well, I hate to say it, but that is what that particular mushroom is like; looking at the full image, it is "sharp"; it is just a soft surface. I could play with some localized contrast to see what I can pull out, but it gets over processed pretty fast.

I was actually trying (via tilt) to bring that tiny branch into focus (missed its tip by a bit) as I liked its angle up to the mushroom... So, it looks like I got your attention, but in the wrong way, oh well...

Thanks for the feedback,

Doug
