Enchantment
I came across these enchanting Mycena Clarkeana toadstools out at Fairy Dell early in the morning, they where just over 1cm wide. I used my macro lens along with three extension tubes to get enough magnification. This lens setup, along with a wide aperture, meant that the photos had a very shallow depth of field. To overcome this and have all of the fungi in focus I ended up taking 30 photos, each focused slightly further into the scene, then focus stacking them in post.
- Focal Length : 100mm
- Aperture : f/5.6
- Shutter Speed : 1.3 Seconds
- ISO : 100
