Location
This photo is an example of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary things around you. This is simply mushrooms that have poked up in my lawn. A day or two overdue on the mowing created an opportunity for magic.Time
It was late afternoon as I was walking by I was intrigued by how the mushrooms had fanned out as if showing off! I loved the detail. To get the right angle I laid down on the grass and and held my Samsung phone camera above the grass and moved in close to the mushrooms.Lighting
This photo was taken in full sunlight. I love the detail brought out by the natural lighting.Equipment
I am so in love with my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone camera! It is so simple and easy to use. The waterproof feature lets me shoot fearlessly in all kinds of situations. I have had it resting in sand and water while it takes the most beautiful photos. Simply changing the position of the phone allows so much flexibility in the angle of the lens. I have dragged it through wheat soaked with dew. Rain has not deterred me or my passion for capturing the beauty around me. My Samsung Galaxy S5 phone camera has passed every rigorous test I have given it.Inspiration
I loved the contrast of light and dark on the underside of the mushrooms. The texture and detail was fascinating to me. I simply had to capture them! Black and white really brings the detail to light.Editing
The picture was great on it's own but I wanted to create something more . I used the Ipiccy editing program. I experimented with the bokeh effect and came up with the effect you see here. I took away the color to create this magical picture.In my camera bag
I carry my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone camera and an Olympus Stylus camera. Both are waterproof and allow me to really experiment without fear. I find the Olympus Stylus camera is better for super macro and low light situations.Feedback
Look around and see the beauty in everyday sights. Simply altering the viewpoint can make ordinary extraordinary! Get down and dirty, play in the mud and water! The options for editing are endless and it so much fun to experiment with different effects to create a masterpiece !
