Oyster Mushrooms

Wow what a pic huh!!

Hey really enjoy it. What need to improve are the people viewing it. It is a beautifull photo and it is a photo regardless the tech aspect of it. A good photograph bring us to the momment the subject is capture, this photo certainly did it job!! Again great photo

Good Lord! First I find out you don't need film to take photographs & now I find out I don't even need a camera. What next.........no computers? Nice image & imagination! It's been said that the image is made first in one's head & you've just proved it. Well done. LM

if a scanned image is not photography,not one of us has posted a photograph in here.....

man that is cool....i cant wait to try that.

The narrower, but more well lit lower right of the picture leading to the larger mass, but not as bright upper left, as well as the wonderful light fall off give this picture wonderful asymmetry. However, (perhaps because of the size of the "print", not the photographers fault) I couldn't tell what the subject was without the caption.

bill very nice (all the good stuff has already been said...). you should've not disclosed ANY details till ppl started raving about it, even then if i was in your shoes i would have to think twice. the "sinar/prov/rodenstock" line was a hoot!!!

when i first saw the image it ways from a distance. it looked exactly like a withering rose. a second look close up and bigger gave me quite a shock. it's gorgeous, and with a shock value like that, it's no wonder it's getting a lot of good feedback. (disregarding all this it's not a photo crap)

I enjoyed this picture, very ingenious. I'm surprised by the image's depth of field - presumably the lens has a tiny aperture.

 

Very nicely done.

 

 

This is a very well composed image. Congratulations ! I have been experimenting myself with scanning objects. Your photo of oyster mushrooms inspired me to make another scanned composition with mushrooms myself. Thanks for sharing.

Dude, this is great. Let's hear it for creativity.

i really like this picture - everything from the texture through to the 3 dimensional quality. i think it is very well done and has a lot of feeling - am surprised it was done on a scanner and i initially missed that part in the description. However, no matter how it was produced it is the feeling it conveys is probably the most important

i am in looove with this photograph, i find it extraordinarly beautiful and elegant. it is art within art. never before had i noticed how lovely the curled and tattered the lip of the cap is...its almost art noveau to me. i also completely agree with Edward Rieux in his assessment of why he feels this to be photographic art. a scanner is in essence a camera!

 

i do not mind the hotspot whatsoever, it even adds a wonderful feeling of luminescence which is magical and lends itself to seeming submerged under water.

 

ive added this to my favorites :)

I have nothing against using scanners as a imaging medium. I fact, I use them myself for imaging certain plant material. However, the user must realize that scanners by design are meant to focus narrowly, i.e., they have a very narrow DOF. Plant material, fungi included, must to some extent be principally in focus without damage.

In my opinion this mushroom image is badly conceived as noted in the damaged gills and cracked caps. It should be obvious to even the most casual observer that the illustration object has been flattened, prior to or presently, onto the imaging plate creating the observed damage.

In summary, scanners are very adept at making scans of other than what they were designed for. Therefore, it is up to the "scannerer" to choose appropriate subject matter.

 

Like this a lot ! See my pics
