mushroom up close

was this one of icys rics or yuma?

Glenn, pretty sure it came from Jon, accordinmg to my crappy recordkeeping at my first meeting injanuary. doesn’t it look like a computer made those round balls?

Nice Picture. What camera and settings did you use for the shot?

it’s a nikon 5 mp, old, set on a macro setting. all automatic. but i’m told that i should adjust the white balance. next picture i will.
of course, i took about 10 shots to get that one!

That is an awesome picture - I don’t think white balance needs to be adjusted at all. Nice colors, good contrast, great detail in the shadows. And a really nice shroom.

Awesome. My camra has a macro setting, but there is so much crap on the glass you’d just see a great closeup of algae. :BEER

thanks to both of you. i am humbly appreciative. i spend a lotta time taking these and discarding many others and it feels good to get a compliment. my issue is that i cannot get a decent picture more than 2 inches away; the camera will not focus properly. fts works fine, but nothing in the middle of the tank is clear and in focus if i use a zoom. i love macro, but would also like to be able to capture 2 or 3 critters in the same shot.
anyway, many thanks for the nice words. more pix will show up on the site as i get what i am willing to show.
