Thank you so much! It was even in front of my house. I was staring to it for days and decided to see what it was ( with camera ofcourse) and this picture was the result :D

En dat vlak voor mijn huis, ik dacht dat er een zak in was gestopt, maar bij nader inzien ben ik toch even gaan kijken en maar goed ook, want onze buurman heeft die klimmende mushroom er uit gebrand. Zucht, Portugezen

Behind The Lens

Location

It was almost in front of window and I saw it several days. I did not knew what it was. So I decided to go outside and more near and bingo: a wonderful mushroom in the fig tree. Running fast inside, taking my camera and "click" I made this wonderful surprise. Now I am still looking forward for more of those mushrooms. It was the first time I saw this growing into a tree.

Time

I took this picture at noon, because it was a rainy day so I had to wait a bit until it the rain was gone. Cats were running behind me, so I had to concentrate to do it fast and good. Otherwise they could destroy this amazing mushroom. I had no tri pot, I used the line of my camera around my neck and pulled a little to avoid movement. This picture I made in November 2017. November 2017

Lighting

I did not use my flash, because the sky was grey, but not too dark. Perfect to have no shadows (of myself or my camera).

Equipment

I used my Sony DSC-H300, 20.1 megapixels, optical steady shot. 35Xoptical zoom.

Inspiration

I was attracted by the strange shape and colour in the fig tree. So I had to see what it was before is disappeared.

Editing

I just had to made the colours more deeper and that was enough to post it.

In my camera bag

I take always extra batteries with me, I never know before I leave how many pictures I like to take. I have no extra tools for my Sony. In the bag are little bags filled dehumidifier -pills ( I learned that from one of my fellow workers of ViewBug ). It´s very handsome when I make pictures at the beach. And of course a lens cleaner.

Feedback

When you leave your house bring always your camera with you. You can not predict what could pass around you. Sometimes I forget and I bump with my hand to my head saying: "Why did I let my camera at home? This was excellent to make a picture!"
