      Reminds me of the star wars episode 3 where they had the lava. In the behind the scenes they had a watching of the scene with the lava and they had it flowing up and someone caught it and changed it lol

    I would consider that "impossible camera angle" as a two-image vertical pano. I've done this myself. My first day in Rome last October, I drove from the airport to a nature area nearby and used that technique (handheld!) on an image of a road and farmhouse.
    Love the mushroom shot! Amanda has a good eye.
    P.S. I have a daughter in "Mary-Land" as you say. Nice people! We phonetically call it "Marelend" though. 😉

  • @PhotoTrekr
    @PhotoTrekr 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If nothing else, there's always the waterfalls to photograph. The mushroom shots are definitely wall worthy. You should always bring Amanda. She can spot a shot like a pig can find a truffle. Finding peak color in the Fall is more of an art than a science. But, when it's just right, magnifico. The import fees are a killer from Canada.

    I must admit I got this from Google as I was curious. A mushroom cluster sometimes resembles several mushrooms all growing from the same spot in the ground. Rustgill mushrooms grow in clusters. If the mushrooms in a group are not growing close enough together to be called a cluster, but they are clearly still a group, then they are called a ''troop. Now I'm all set in case I get asked in a Quiz

I don't remember many images of yours that might be considered macro, but I'm quite the fan of the two you showed us here. The waterfall shots were beautiful too. Maybe you can get Andrew at the garage to call you and Brent next year at the peak of color! How you guys kept straight faces for some of those gags is beyond me. Happy trails.
