I don&#8217;t know why I don&#8217;t, as it requires no more than a close focusing lens and not much else. Suitable subjects are all around and it can be carried out in all weather.<\/p>\n<p>The bands of colour caught my eye, so I made these the main focus of the image. Other views didn&#8217;t seem to show these as well if I composed a wider image. Even though I used a polariser there is still some shine on the damp surface of the fungus, but I don&#8217;t think it is too distracting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/tn_bishopston-valley-6447.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-516\" title=\"Grey Poypore Fungi\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/tn_bishopston-valley-6447.jpg\" alt=\"Grey Poypore Fungi\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/tn_bishopston-valley-6447.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/tn_bishopston-valley-6447-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/tn_bishopston-valley-6447-266x400.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second image is based more on the pattern of the fungi rather than the fungi itself. It was the contrast of the white underneath of the fungi against the dark tree trunk that attracted my attention.
