Mushrooms are one of my favorite things to observe and photograph because of their unique characteristics, colors, and the unusual places they grow. They come in all shapes, colours, and sizes and grow mostly in damp and dark places that have nutritious substrates.
Mushrooms can be found on tree barks, other substrates, and most commonly on the ground. Hence it is a subject where the photographer needs to get down low or find a very unique perspective to capture the beauty of the mushroom in its habitat. Besides, one of the challenges photographers will be faced with photographing mushrooms is the lighting condition.
Mushrooms thrive in places with low light and hence you need to look for the right time and work with the available light to capture stunning photographs of mushrooms. This will require an understanding of light – how light works and how it can be manipulated for capturing brilliant photographs.
