[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Flammulina velutipes is one of the few fungi to be found when snow and frost are about. It grows in very large tufts on old trunks of broad-leaved trees. It has a lovely ochreous yellow and rather slimy cap, slightly paler, widely spaced gills and a darker, more or less velvety but tough stem. I did not pick it even though it is an excellent edible species, as I only found two clumps in the open woodland.

Beautiful picture! Like the reflection of the light. Assumed it was with flash, bit I see you didn't flash in the exif data.

Cheers, Dennis

Hi Sue.
This is a very nice pic of the Flammulinas.
I dont kknow why, but they are extremely photogeniic, most of the shots I made the this fungui are very well exposed :)
We can see here to how nicely reflect the flash light.
The short DOF works very well this time, and the composition of the group filling the frame too.
Thanks and regards.

  • Great

Me gusta esta captura Sue... por el punto de vista captado, por ese reflejo de luz sobre los distintos especímenes (leí tu respuesta que no usaste flash), el correcto foco aunque algo escaso DOF y el apropiado encuadre bien ajustado.
Una interesante presentación... gracias por publicarla.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

I like this capture Sue... for the captured point of view, for that reflection of light on the different specimens (I read your answer that you didn't use flash), the correct focus although something scarce DOF and the appropriate very toght framing.
An interesting presentation... thank you for posting.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo
