Absolutely wonderful. All I can say is thank you so much for uploading this.

Per toeval beland ik hier Dirk: wat een briljante video! Macro, mijn passie. Paddenstoelen, een nog grotere passie. Hier leer ik, niet alles hoeft scherp te zijn, het gaat om het geheel!

[@dirkercken1348]

Dankjewel voor je comment! Voor mij is de sfeer in een foto heel belangrijk. Ze hoeft technisch niet per feit te zijn, er moet gevoel in zitten!

[@marionolsen415]

Outstanding images and wonderful creativity! Very inspiring - thanks for sharing.

[@dirkercken1348]

Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed it!

If you use Helicon Remote, you don't have to worry about any of your mushroom being out of focus and you can keep a shallow depth of field in the background.

I've been doing Mushroom phototraphy for several years now, I live in a target rich area (PNW). Great video Dirk, as usual. I've been meaning to ask, what lenses are you using? (primarily) Thanks!

[@dirkercken1348]

Hey Dave, Thanks for your comment! The lens I mainly use is a Canon f2.8 100mm macro lens.

Magnifico vídeo.

Thanks!

[@Codlipps]

Great video and tips 😊👌🏼

[@dirkercken1348]

Thanks!

Another good vid, mate, thanks. A question: do you focus-stack several f16 top shots with the torch, or is there only one f16 frame?

[@dirkercken1348]

Focus stacking with light painting isn't possible! You are holding the flashlight in hand so lighting will always change a bit end this makes focus stacking impossible.

[@spookysandwich1355]

superb video Dirk love your style , question at 15 seconds from the start you show an image with what looks like a shadow of a mushroom inside the bokeh circle , how is this technique done ? ??

[@dirkercken1348]

Thanks! To get the mushroom in the bokeh circle you need to line up the bokeh with that mushroom, that's all.

[@spookysandwich1355]

@@dirkercken1348 thanks for responding Dirk sorry i meant the shadow of a single mushroom in the bokeh ball on the right of the image ib the brightest circle
