they are lovely shots , Mark, and of course I wouldn't think it odd - I may have to haul out some of mine to keep you company I have tons of them shot with film - mostly inedibles... Did you harvest the sulfer shelf after photoing? I don't _think_ that chanterelle like one is a chanterelle - but I only have a dangerously small amount of knowlege about the stuff and a couple of filed guides. For a couple of years I was in the NY Mycological society - but never did get to meet John cage. Went to a due at Lincrofts apartment (this is back in the 80's) - the trouble was most of the mycologists were only interested in them from a culinary point of view, where as I was interested in finding out the names of what I had photographed to be able to use them for stock photography that might end up in a field guide. I rather shocked a couple of them when I I quipped that as long as the photo looked like what the mushroom was, and no one gathered it to eat without the other tests being done, it didn't matter whether the one in the photo was the edible variety, since no one was going to eat the photo. I did learn enough to feel I could only collect in the wild maybe 4 or 5 of the really obvious good ones and then only if they were not near, for instance, a major highway, or heavily used local road, or any sort of industrial stuff... the mushroom may be benign on it's own, but absorbs nasty chemicals pretty easily. sigh. ann -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
