Experiment - LE, L bracket tripod - Marilyn Monroe Mushroom

Experiment - LE, L bracket tripod - Marilyn Monroe Mushroom, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Celebrating Light).

LR-15753 - To the ordinary viewer it is yet another mushroom i my every growing shots of mushrooms, in the Mushrooms (magic or otherwise) set. That it may well be, but having spent three years rolling around on the forest floor and never quite getting what I want in the foreground and not quite happy with the PoV.
Experiment is in fact in the way the camera is mounted which is a L shaped bracket and clearing the ground by about and inch (2.5cm) providing the short foreground focus and maintaining the focus on the underside of the gills. Add to this the long Exposures provides the ability to display the light I see through the gills. Display the stem and the gills in focus. The slight disappointment is the start of the bokeh forming in the back of the shot which is down to my camera skills. The lack skill can be seen in the original size. you might be interested to see the lack of sharpness around the mushroom edge
