ILLUMINATED FUNGI PHOTOGRAPHY
with Andy Wakefield
Do your fungi photos look a bit, well, boring
and flat? Want to learn how to make them
look full of mood, magic and light?
In this talk, I will demonstrate the steps I go
through to produce illuminated mushroom
images, from finding the right subjects, the
gear you need, getting the shots, light
painting technique, and post processing to
make a stunning illuminated mushroom
photograph full of wonder and mystery.
