Thanks Joe much appreciated 🙏🏼

Cheers mate 😃

Hi Jon, hope you are both well, cheers mate, yes it does happen to me every so often. It’s what you get for inventing in cheap cards on Amazon I think.

I agree it’s definitely a genre all on his own. There’s just something about mushroom photography that sets it apart from the rest. I very rarely use my macro lens for mushroom photography unless they are very, very small.

Cheers mate 😄

Thanks mate 😊

Cheers mate 😀

Hi Enrique, it does it to me every once in a while, all of a sudden I have two or three videos I missed and didn’t even get notified.

Cheers mate 😃

@keithguppy 🙂👍

@stigfloberghagenphotography thanks 🙏🏼

Hi Keith, yeah always a pain when you’ve spent so much time making a video when you lose after the footage, yeah that’s why I love shooting mushrooms doesn’t matter what lens you have on you, you always get a good shot

Morning Bob, yeah degrees C, it doesn’t seem that cold compared to Dartmoor National Park, it’s always coldest there (where I usually do my videos) because it’s on high ground.

Cheers mate, much appreciated, I must admit I do use my macro lens a lot less than when I first got it. I’m much prefer the five times macro now if I’m gonna do Macro it has to be worth doing.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Thanks for the comment. Nice lens, I’ve never used one but heard it’s a good one. I did consider getting a canon twin flash, but I went with the more affordable option of K&F 😁

Hey Shawn, thanks mate, always appreciate your input, good to know what others think.

Thanks 🙏🏼 much appreciated

Cheers mate.

Hi Jon, hope you are both well, Thanks for the feedback, I am glad you agree with the image going back the other way, sometimes I feel like there is an obvious composition and I am not just seeing it lol. That last image I just took as we were leaving, I didn't vlog it but wish I had now.

Thanks, I’ve just noticed you have a channel, I’ll be checking out some videos soon 👍🏻

@keithguppy 👍🙂

Thanks for the feedback, I haven’t checked out ON1 but software is definitely making post processing easier. I took some newborn photos of my daughter and spent a few hours editing out my hand where I’m holding up her head. AI now does it in about three seconds lol

Cheers mate. They are hard to find because they are only up for a few days and then they are gone. Right place right time I guess. Sometimes I head out to where there were loads before and find nothing.

Hey Shawn, thanks mate, there is something about a good mushroom photo.

Thanks for commenting, I think I got them from our local home bargings or B&M store, it’s surprising what you can find in the budget shops. Sorry that’s not much help, I bought it a few years ago now.

@@keithguppy Found one online. Aimed at crafters, reading in bed etc but perfect for this type of photography.

Good to know. I have seen them before but not the double ended one. It’s probably ment to go around your neck

Thanks Bob, much appreciated, I can’t script mine, I used to write notes and then when I was out filming they would stay in my bag the whole time lol. Did you hear it in the Elmer Fudd voice though?

I think it’s time to start using stuffed iguanas lol

@@keithguppy 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Jon, I hope you are both well, thanks mate, I’m always worried I didn’t get it right when doing this kind of video. Good to know

Cheers mate, I think you were out exploring for your new channel that day mate.

Cheers mate much appreciated , not long now and they will all be gone.

I will be putting out a video soon, so watch out for that.

Tell me about it mate, Mushrooms are getting harder to photograph every year lol, don't you mean quacking duck images lol

@ haha very good🤦‍♂️🙄🤣

Hi Jon, hope you are both well. It always makes a better photo when the batteries are charged that for sure lol.

Thanks mate, yea I’m still guilty of doing it now, I have to remind myself lol

I agree, I think that’s the problem, all the photos have the same feel to them, I tend to go for the lower down shot for a lot of my photos, I don’t it looks pleasing to the eye. It’s an especially good tip for iguana photography lol

The best part is not having to keep changing batteries in my Canon M50 because of the power bank. The power bank also runs the copper macro field-light that I built, containing 1600 LEDs.

Awesome, I used to use a rig like this, now I tend to use the DJI ronan s with my mk4 for my creative shots. Much easier, then I have the c300 mk2 on a tripod for the rest

Ya, I want to get a DJI Neo and start making videos myself, so I can show people the continuous macro lighting that I have designed and fabricated. @@keithguppy

Absolutely, but the place I was in I didn’t want to submerge my tripod into deep mud , I wasn’t that invested in the shot lol

😂 I’m saying nothing!

Thanks Keith, all good no stings thankfully 😅

Ha yep Ive upgraded you mate for a younger model sorry. Yeah it’s not the best location mate. Definitely a European hornet and no sting 👍🏻

Bloody cheek, I ain't dead yet....🤣😅

@@colinyoung9432 I might be when we meet next though 😂🤣

Thank you mate. Much appreciated.

Cheers mate, nothing like your epic locations, but I’ll take it where I can get it

Cheers mate, much appreciated. It was a shame I had to rush, but I think I got more than I was hoping for so I was happy anyway.

Thanks, Hannibal I mean Bob! And in this case it really did come together. I was very happy with the results.

Yeah, I think I got lucky on that shot mate. The light and the tide all aligned spring tides the next time I’d be able to go and get different compositions.

Cheers mate, much appreciated

Thank you so much 😊

@@keithguppy 👍🙂

Thanks, I did consider getting some waders, but it’s just another thing to remember lol

Thanks, Enrique. I did have an iguana lined up, but the person supplying them didn’t turn up sadly.

@@keithguppy 🤣

Hi Jon, hope you’re both well, yes as many as shipwrecks out there to be photographed I do like the train you get to see some interesting places that you wouldn’t normally see

Thanks Barry, and thank you for your support, much appreciated , It was the perfect conditions, the only other time I could head back is spring tide, I believe the tide recedes out past the shipwrecks, but timing is everything, but you are right, definitely more compositions to be had, i think with the YT compression it's hard to tell, i use the 17-40 L, I usually won't push it past f11-f13 for sharpness, I had a look at 100% on the f19 and 22 images and I would say its acceptably sharp, I would say it had some diffraction but overall not enough to ruin the image.

@keithguppy ok. Enjoy your coffee(or tea!) Hoping myself to get down to the sea next week after I've had a dose of covid which has knocked me around a bit over the last 2 weeks.

Thanks ☺️, Hope you feel better soon, if you’re on any socials it would be good to see your shots when you get back out there. My links are in the description, your more that welcome to tag me 😃

@keithguppy Thanks Keith. Will do.
