That was a fantastic conversation about one of my interests Fungi. I look forward to many more on all the diverse types of macro photography. Just today i saw a chap who photographs grains of sand that seemingly have gem quality and the results are stunning. Not sure if you have seen or tried anything like that. Keep up the good work, i enjoy your presentations immensely.
Thanks Owen - It'll be hard to top that one! They were so generous with their time - and I have to find a way to Australia someday - it looks just gorgeous.
At 1:00:08 Lord Howe Island was named after the, then, first Lord of the Admiralty by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball (Mt Lidgbird and Balls Pyramid at Lord Howe Island are named after him). Lidgbird was the commander of HMS Supply, which was en route from Botany Bay (Sydney), after dropping off the First Fleet in 1788, to found a penal settlement on Norfolk Island. HMS Supply hit rocks at Norfolk Island and sank. When the Norfolk Island Penal Colony was closed many years later by Queen Victoria, she offered the descendants of the Bounty Mutineers on Pitcairn (then overcrowded) space to settle on Norfolk Island, who to this day still speak Pitcairnese, a mixture of 19 century seafaring English (from the mutineers) and Tahitian (from their wives). The cemetery at Norfolk is a whos who of the Bounty's crew names. Later Captain Bligh (yep the Captain of the HMS Bounty) was named Governor of the NSW Colony in Australia and caused a second mutiny known as the rum rebellion.
Yes I have - I used it for a couple of weeks this summer and I really enjoyed it. It takes a little getting used to because of the extra magnification, but it is a sharp and fun lens to use!
Hi Rob - He is not on Discord, or at least he didn't give me that platform as one of his links. You can probably get his attention or Catherine's on their IG page (link above). If that doesn't work I can try and make the connection another way. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Hi Allan, have you ever tried the Laowa 100mm f2.8 2:1 Macro lens?
It's really sharp and I just love it, the best one I've used so far.

Hi Allan, thank you. That was a wonderful 2 part video. Is Steve Alford on Discord? I want to ask him a few questions?
