I doubt I could have done any better under the circumstances! My dad and I would go out every spring hunting for morels. What a treat. Cheers... Brian

that first shot would be really gorgeous if it were not for the bokeh. i shuld have taken the time to get the best out of that shot, but my mind was not on photography really. The second shot is a really impressive specimen. Not only did I find over 30 shrooms, some were fatter than a beer can. You dont find them that big often. keeping my fingers crossed that they grow here again this spring. i have found them here several times, but it is not every year. these photos were taken may 17 2011. 2012 there were none. 2013 I found about ten.

After listening to the kids tell me how gross these look and how they dont like any mushrooms at all, I convinced them to taste the morels. How bitter sweet. Now I have to share!

You can see that some of these have been dined on by slugs. I have to remond myself to look for these mushrooms every couple days during the season.

Lovely work there macronut... And with the bonus of it being tasty :)

I do like the top photo with the excellent lighting the most, but I take your point about the bokeh.

Thank you. It is my favorite also, despite the nervous bokeh. I may yet decide to print and frame it. My printer really does a great job and i got a great deal photo paper. Thats been my thing lately. I dont remember, but thinking back to this date I am guessing these were taken with my 50mm 2.8 macro rs.

there really is nothing to compare the taste of these mushrooms to. if only they were available in stores year round. the guy that figures out how to grow them is going to be a rich man.

Taken in a swampy coastal area. I have no idea what they are, but I liked the way they looked.
