Description The vibrant orangey/red Cinnabar-red Polypore (Pycnoporus cinnabarinus). One of the hardest darn fungi for my camera to catch due to the vibrancy of the color. I often have to take a whole series of shots in order to get one...and even then THAT one may not come out.

Don't you all hate the watermarks? Too bad people STILL upload my work without permision eh?

I hate when i beautiful mushroom is so vibrant a color that it washes out the detail in a low light setting. then you got to use the gawd awful flash and ruin the magic of mushrooms but anyhow, its a great image

lol....definately and thanx.....
I'm looking for new ways to catch the details....carrying a couple hunks of tin foil folded up with clips to hang up and around to capture light helps...or to take away some of the light i also have a few scarves of different colors that i'm collecting to help either tone the lighting...or to just block some out

Thats a really good idea, i might try the tinfoil thing, most of the areas i find mushrooms in locally have very little light (Damn overly dense forests )

Beautiful...and I know the feeling -- my camera has a really hard time with bright yellow objects.
