Mexican fungi with what looks like a weevil
I don't think it is a weevil, but that's what it reminds me of. Walking back from a day at the hotel pool ( well, pool bar) I got chatting to another hotel guest who mentioned this particular fungus that was growing on a bridge handrail. Anyway, she pointed it out to me, next morning I was back there ( sober this time) with my camera and as luck would have it the beetle was sat on it, cool as a cucumber. OM1 mkii OM 60mm Flash and diffuser 1/100th ,f/13 200iso single shot.

Thanks James. Yup, sometimes it feels like an eternity waiting for that perfect moment when you are waiting for the light to be just right, bang on a flash and diffuser and wait no more...
Close and in multiple exposure mode
Found this technique quite interesting to play with. This is to create an impression, not reality.

Fantastic set of images.
Back into the woods
Didn't have too much free time today but what I did was in glorious weather. My wife had kindly gone exploring in our wood in search of mushrooms and fungi and was successful in both! Fungi is Green Elf Cup and is about 1-2 mm in diameter. This group was on the underside of an old branch and the mushroom was growing out the end of another one Z9 105 macro f11 1/20 for green cup stack of 80 1/125 for mushroom stack of 60 ISO 64

2 great shots Pete. Like others, I think the 1st one is the better of the 2.

@Peter Boswell I wouldn't say it's spoiled TBH, I just prefer the 1st one. I'm planning on getting out on the weekend, weather permitting, I hope you get your shot
