Thank you so much 😀

Great video Suzannah. The mushroom photos are outstanding. They are so small, so low to the ground, photographing them is a challenge. You are doing the mushrooms proud with your photos.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Yes they are! Oh I'm glad you think so. I've really enjoyed learning about them over the last few months so it's good to put the skills into practise at last 🙏

[@guysingleton3908]

Love this type of photography, a real challenge but worth it

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Couldn't agree more! Really enjoying it so far 🙏 Thanks for the support and commenting too

Amanita Muscaria. Really interesting. I was very surprised at its medicinal and recreational uses. And it’s been used for thousands of years.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Yes I think there's so much to learn from our ancestors

Lovely video Suzannah, I too love finding beautiful mushrooms. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

You are so welcome! It's a wonderful new world to explore

[@johncarnahan4067]

Beautiful photos Suzannah the nice thing about macro photography is that it opens up a whole new part of nature that could easily be unnoticed. Thank you for sharing your video enjoyed watching

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

This is so true! I see my walks so differently now. For years I've missed it! Now it's like looking at the woodland with a fresh pair of eyes

[@maimai21adventure86]

Wow lovely video

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks 🤗

Supper video. Went out yesterday with the dog, found some fungi, went back home and grabbed my camera and took some fungi photos. Thank you for sharing with us. Need to learn focus stacking /focus bracking at some point. Some fungi needs that little extra light, without harming the fairy folk.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Amazing! I am so happy to hear it's inspired you too! Glad you went back for your camera! Great stuff

[@jameschetwynd]

Yes Nikon coolpix p510 has good macro 42x optical rated 24-1000 Cost me under $300 great pictures

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks for sharing! That's helpful as not sure how long I can borrow this lens! Cheers for watching

[@jimmywestphoto]

Really been intrested lately of trying out macro. There's some nice macro lenses for MFT. Oly has a 30 and a 60mm (60 and 120mm FF equivalent) that I'm intrested in. Well done Suzannah, love the video and your shots.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

You should give it a go! It's been great fun so far and definitely opened up a new perspective for me

[@wanneske1969]

Instead of turning your camera upside down and using a tripod, you could also use a beanbag, it's very stable. And when you flip your screen, you don't have to lie on the ground either. Before I had my R6, I had a 5DIII and always had to lie down on the ground when photographing mushrooms as it didn't have a flipscreen. Great tips btw

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Some great tips! Thanks so much for stopping by and supporting the channel. Anything to make photography slightly easier when you're limited on time is a bonus so thank you 🙏

[@adragonphotography]

Great vid, first time seeing one of them and ive just subscribed. There is anouther way of lighting your macro if you dont mind me saying and thats to use a led light block, (they dont cost that much on amazon) with them you can set the brightness exactly as you want no matter the "normal" light to get the effect that you want, they can also do various colours to that might add that bit "extra" ive just started playing around with macro myself, its a fascinating way of taking photos.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Thanks for the sub! Oh cool they sound good I will check them out. Thanks 🙏

[@andybusard6694]

Sorry if I missed it, but what lens did you uss?

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

I don't think I talked much about it, I used a 100mm Macro lens

[@TC_Conner]

So, I’m curious to know if I could call this close up photography instead of macro? Because I’m fairly confident I can make similar photos using my 70-200mm and it’s not a macro lens.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Yes I think you could argue that for some of the images, you could also get attachments to enhance your magnification too such as Rayon DCR-250. I did consider getting one of these myself

[@jv7070ful]

I use a cheap chinese headlamp or led lamp that works very well.

[@FocusFlowBySuzannahMary]

Fab I shall shop around 🙏
