I got so muddy taking these!

They were everywhere, but of course the cutest ones were under a big pine tree, so I had to crawl in there on my hands and knees, hold the branches up with one hand, and shoot with the other!

I'm not sure if I like the front view or side view best. What do you think?

I think I like the last one except for that stupid leaf "growing" out of the back mushroom. I might clone that out.

*EDIT* WTF, they aren't working??? Not sure what I did wrong...I posted them the right way!

EDITx2: Okay, maybe if I post the link instead you can see them that way??

Sorry, can't see the photos. Only a red "x"...

I know. I can't figure out what I did wrong, I posted them the right way!

Still not showing up. Did you eat some of those 'shrooms before you posted?

I think they got buried under all that mud i cant see them either!

When I clicked on the link, Flickr made me login to see the photos.

I like the photos. Although, if I may offer some constructive criticism, I would suggest lowering the ISO setting next time. I noticed that you shot these using the shutter priority at a speed of 1/400s. I would have dropped the ISO down to 100. You definitely could have used a lower ISO and slower shutter speed. That would have gotten rid of the noise.

Just a thought. Nice job!

Slower shutter speed probably would have made a blurrier photo as these were handheld. Although I could try again with my tripod...They probably wouldn't have looked too good with lower ISO either as I had to lighten the crap out of these already. They were very dark.

I took out the noise, do they look better now? Let's see if these show up...





Nope. Phooey.
