•  Support Like it too. Huge wow. Do you use a specific setup for lighting? I'd be interested to know if you don't mind sharing. - Benh (talk) 10:19, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
  • A shoot-through umbrella with a remote flash was held by a friend just to the right of the frame close to the mushrooms to create a soft light source. The rear left lighting is just the sun filtering through the rain and clouds. It could be emulated with another shoot-through umbrella or softbox (I did have more equipment in my pack). Fill is achieved with ambient light by adjusting shutter speed. In addition, the whole thing was stacked with CombineZP to maximize the depth of field. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:48, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks a lot. I doubt I could emulate this easily, but I'll have that in mind if I hunt for mushrooms some day. - Benh (talk) 14:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
      • FWIW, The lighting gear was just cheap eBay stuff, probably under $50 worth excluding the flash. JJ Harrison (talk) 02:16, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
        • I was more questioning my skills than my gear ;). I don't have shot through umbrella, but was thinking about using reflective cone instead to diffuse light and playing with flash intensity and exposure time to get it right as you did. Maybe I'll have a shopping session on eBay and check. Thanks again. - Benh (talk) 08:18, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
