@ p. - Thanks. I think everyone in this region has some interest in mycology this time of year. (It's the rainy season.) I only claim to know how to read.

@ Duncan, Sean, and Kelly- Natural backlighting provided by the Sun. Shots from the "correct" side looked like something out of a cheap textbook.

@ Craiger- One more reason to visit during the rainy season. Some of the fungi found in the gorge are prehistoric in scale this time of year.

Wow that is gorgeous. The color and the DoF and the details. Fantastic macro. This is when a macro shot doesn't need a lot of details to look great.
And good points about digital photography. I had to read it twice to fully understand it.

@Robert: Thanks. Also, thanks for the visit, Robert. I thought you might have given up on Am3, as you hadn't posted to your blog in a while.
