In the last few weeks, rain has fallen in my area with quite a lot of rain. For me, this is a blessing in itself because when the rain comes, beautiful mushrooms usually start to appear in the surrounding forests. Today I decided to explore the forest not far from home, hoping to find interesting objects to photograph.
After walking for a long time, I found a mushroom growing alone under a shady palm tree, this sight made me very excited. I knew I couldn't waste this golden opportunity.
I immediately took out my macro lens, quickly set up my photography equipment, and aimed full focus at this mushroom. The light under the palm tree was a bit dim, so I added a little artificial lighting using a small lamp to give a dramatic effect to the photo.
When I saw the results I felt very satisfied. This mushroom looks so enchanting, with the dew detail on it perfectly captured by my macro lens. Even though it grows alone, its beauty seems to create a small world that captivates anyone who sees it.
This experience reminded me that natural beauty is often hidden in unexpected places, and we just need to be a little more discerning to find it.
