There's a Fungus Among Us

Prev | Next

By Staci Martin

Macro photography--artistic close-ups of insects, plants, flowers--has become quite popular in the photography world with new digital stabilization technology and macro lenses for digital cameras.

Taking macros in winter is a great way to capture the four-seasons of the outdoor world. Defused winter lighting, less leaf clutter, and fewer biting insects make winter photography a lot of fun!

These shots of shelf fungus and a pine seedling were taken at False Cape State Park on the Duddley Island Trail in early December.
