Fungi

During my recent trip to Toorongo Falls, I came across this fungi growing on a fallen tree just to the side of the walking track. I think what caught my eye was the way the sunlight happened to highlight the orange edges of the fungi just at the moment. By the time my camera was out and setup on a tripod the light was back to its overcast grey self and so I used a flash to provide some additional light.

Camera was a Canon 6D with Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 mounted on a tripod and using a 2 second timer to avoid camera shake. Settings were ISO100, f11, 200mm with 2.5sec exposure. Processing includes the usual contrast, brightness, noise reduction etc. normally done in Lightroom
