Behind The Lens
Location
In a park in The NetherlandsTime
It was noon, a very sunny day, but the giant trees around made the right environment for this mushroom.Lighting
Just natural light.Equipment
My old Canon EOS 50D + EF 50mm lenses.Inspiration
It was a happy accident. I almost passed by without seeing it, when I noticed a couple trying to shoot it with a phone. I got close and there it was, alone, on a big fallen tree.Editing
Not much. Usually just a bit of sharpness and contrast adjustments, sometimes a bit of desaturation for a more dramatic mood (not in this case, though).In my camera bag
I always carry my old camera (a Canon EOS 50D), most of the time with an EFS 18-135mm lenses. Sometimes I have my EF 50mm lenses and some macro rings in my bag as well.Feedback
Mushrooms like warm and wet environment, it's best to find them after summer rainy days, and very often in the autumn. They look pretty in natural light, but not direct sunlight.
