| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is a shot taken in a rainy day. Cris made it while I wa holding the equipment and umbrelas.
Fungui photography in rainy days takes a lot of effort. Besides wearing waterproof clothes and bag for the cameras, you have to carry something to dry your hands before getting to work, some plastic bags o a camping cushion to be able to rest in the soaked ground, and two transparent umbrelas to cover the photographer and subject for the capture.
Each time you have to take someting out or in the bags, you need the help of your partner, if you lay your bag on the ground, it will get soked and dirty.
Ang usually not a plece to rest in the whole track!!!
A lot of organization id needed :)

Hi Felipe & Cristina,
A lovely capture of this beautiful fungi. Very well composed shot with good details and nice surrounding also. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Hola Felipe,
Pero por todos los Santos, de donde sacas estos hongos?... lOs de aquí parecen "aburridos" si los comparo con estos!... buen trabajo, y bastante loable si se toma en cuenta lo que dices en la nota, respecto al embrollo "logístico" de andar fotografiando hongos en plena lluvia!... ż2005?... A esto le llamo tener fotos buenas en archivo!
Saludos, Feliz Domingo, Jesús
Hi Felipe and Cristina,
I know very well the trials and tribulations of wet weather photography. Kay sometimes has to help me too :)
You and Cristina did a good job together here.
A very nice capture of the pool in this Russula under the Oak trees.
Thanks for sharing it :)

Hi Felipe
Well you are lucky to have a partner who will go out with in the rain and suffer all these problems :), be happy, I have to do it on my own (lol)!
Great shot of this lovely fungi. Fantastic capture under the circumstances. Beautifully composed amongst the leaf litter; a great shot.
Chris
Hi Felipe,
I absolutely know what Your words mean: "fungi photography on a rainy day...". It's quite depressing You're lying on the wet grass or on wet leafs, You need help and so... Not my "wet dream" to be honest. :) But your wife made her job quite well. The result's very effective, I especially like the mirror effect on the water. Beautiful textures, colors and sharpness. Bravo.
From this POV it's impossible to judge if it's an old specimen of Russula parazurea or anything else from the genus - let's only say the image is a top class one. Congrats and tfs.
Friendly regards, László
