RE: A lot of offline time in nature, very little online time on Hive

What a nice harvest :)))
If I am not wrong, the mushroom on the first photo, here we call that "butter-shroom" as it have an aroma and tastes a bit like cow butter :) I am not a mushroom picker, though :)

Sort:  

Well, the names are a bit confusing as it´s quite common that one particular mushroom species have many different names here, it often differs with different regions and accents of the country :) Thanks for checking out the shots though! Obviously, mushroom photography is a way too difficult category for my old phone :D :/

Exactly the same situation with the names here :)
How do you all it in your region?
From my humble mushroom photo-experience, macro lens or a regular lens with modifier is the best. Not my favorite plate too :D Cheers! :)

I´m a total photography amateur and I don´t have any other lens that the one built into my old phone :D :/ However, the phone is not so bad at taking close up pictures in general, it´s just the mushrooms that it struggles with :D It can take pretty decent shots of insects for example, look at this click:

The grasshopper wasn´t bigger than the mushrooms but the difference in the sharpness is so huge. Don´t know why. Maybe the dull surface of the mushrooms is too hard to focus on.

The details here are stunning. Interesting. Probably it's something related to the focus plane.
That's good with the proper cameras, you are in full control of where the focus should be :) No AI decided for yourself :D
Did you take this photo in Europe? I've never seen such a creature before... Looks almost scary, extraterrestrial :)

It´s actually from Costa Rica, some crazy looking tropical species I guess :) Never seen anything like this in Europe either...

I thought I should be buying a shotgun to protect my yard from this monster. Phew... :D
Actually, this year I started to discover some huge bugs in our garden, quite disturbing. Evolution or we messed it all up, I guess we'll find out soon :)

Climate change too ;) Insect species that never lived in my country before are now showing up from the south as the climate is getting more comfortable for them. And yes, tropical and subtropical insects are usually (much) larger than their mild climate counterparts ;) I remember seeing dragonflies in Florida the size of little airplanes :D
