Ho. That’s a very hard question. May have something to do with a recent talk by Justin Garner at Alsager Camera club perhaps! We were also inspired by his talk and have been out taking mushrooms etc. we haven’t got cameras with focus bracketing but have downloaded Helicon Remote onto our tablet and connected it to our cameras for auto focus bracketing. It works very well. Thanks Jon and Sandra
Fantastic photos! Mushroom photography is so much fun. Wish mushrooms stayed longer, I wanna go out and shoot right now! Gonna follow you on IG and VERO.
....The Nikon Z6 includes a feature known as “focus shift” (which refers to focus stacking), previously found only on the Nikon D850. With focus shift enabled, the Z6 will take a series of photos focused at different distances, starting from front to back.... The idea is that you later combine these photos in post-processing software to create a final image with a huge depth of field (read more about focus stacking). It’s particularly useful for macro and landscape photography at times when you might otherwise struggle to get enough depth of field. However, note that the Z6 itself does not output blended focus stack images; you need to use post-processing software like Photoshop or Helicon Focus to stitch the photos later on your computer...
I loved those last two shots you took with the skylight bokeh, very pretty!
Thanks.
The “spotlight” on the one image was great! What a wonderful circumstance!!
Thank you. It was complete chance, but it I do think the image was very effective.
Great video! Mushrooms are always beautiful!
Thanks for visiting
Very helpful thx!
Glad it helped!
Great vlog and advice love seeking out fungi in the local woods
Ah, you just did! Thanks!
Great job as always, keep em coming👌
Hi Darrell. We preferred the black and white photo of the fungus. The light behind the mushroom looked great! Thanks Jon and Sandra
That is one vote for colour and one for mono. Did you spot where the inspiration for this video?

Thanks. I have lots more photos on insta only recently started using vero, but am trying to add more there.
Loved all the images! Nice to see you do something different!
Thanks Denise. Variation is key to to keeping photography interesting and enjoyable.
Darrell, this video is outstanding and your running dialog is spot on! Would you please tell me which lens you are using? Many thanks!
For this vid I would have used my 105mm macro.
I prefer the color shot. Both are great though.
I think the colour shot slightly takes it for me.
That log one looked like a Turkey tail mushroom
Thanks. I struggle identifying birds - I have no chance with mushrooms.

Another great video :)
When your stacking the images(something I’ve never had the confidence to try..yet!), how many images do you use in the stack ?
It is dependent on the size of the object the depth of field etc. For most of the shots in this video I had between 15 and 20.
