PESO: fungi season

Slowly the real fungi season is reaching its end. I wonder what the winter will offer me to photograph. Recently I started using Affinity Photo for focus stacking instead of a plugin to LR. Some examples: https://flic.kr/p/2mLzPgC https://flic.kr/p/2mLriaA Henk -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail

Re: PESO - Autumn Maple

Very nice. Instead of the blazing red of the final stage, your image shows the process of the leaves turning in the autumn. Nicely done. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Tue, Nov 23, 2021 at 5:36 PM Rick Womer wrote: > Taken a

I like this one, except I wish the sheet of paper or whatever that is attached to the tree wasn't there. Corey On Thu, Nov 18, 2021 at 4:25 PM Mark C wrote: > https://www.flickr.com/photos/markcassino/51688433867 > > From September. Pentax Mz-S, Tamron 28-75 f2.8, Ultrafine Extreme 400. > > Ma

Re: PESO - Water Music

I suspect an upright "console" or "spinet" piano. The back of the furniture would probably have enough buoyancy to float the smaller frame. And I still think it's likely someone destroyed the piano before it entered the river so it may have more than just the soundboard. On 11/18/2021 10:14

Re: PESO - Water Music

Thanks, Rick - I had been wondering what kind of piano that came from. The soundboard was not far from the shore at all - a couple of yards at most. And a a nice concrete boat ramp was just a few feet out of the frame. It would have been easy for someone to lug it there and drop it in the water
