NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S @ 20 mm, 490 sec at f/13, ISO 1600

Returned the next night to this gigantor of a specimen of a ghost mushroom. It’s easily a good 30cm across

This time Gerry joined me so he could get hist first look at a ghostie. He was somewhat disappointed that we couldn’t in fact easily see the glow with the naked eye. It was however pretty bright out with a full moon

I know it looks like the sky was quite bright and almost daytime looking in this shot. It was in fact night (9pm), but the sky was quite overcast, and the moon pretty bright, and this is an eight minute exposure 🙂

Tonight I switched from the 90mm macro long lens to my new 20mm native Z lens for some up close and personal work. Here you can see just how crazy the shape was of this single shroom

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
