East and West Spanish Peaks in BG with our Meadow, and Wildflowers. I'm trying a forced Perspective, I know it needs work
Stacked 100 shots, and a little artsy
Focus stacked in camera
Coprinopsis lagopus is a delicate and short-lived fungus with a worldwide distribution. Within hours the fungus grows its bell-shaped cap, then flattens out and finally the edges curve upwards. Shortly after the photo was taken the gill edges start to dissolve (deliquesce) into a black liquid. The vague resemblance of the young fruit body to the paw of a white rabbit has earned this species the common name harefoot mushroom. Focus stacked from 8 images in Zerene Stacker.

A little back story
Tootling along the back foothills of the Spanish Peaks today. It's beautiful and green everywhere. The lush Green can last many weeks up here because we are pretty close to the mountain, not sure exactly what elevation we are, but straight ahead is the tree/snow line.
We are around 2 miles from the base of the mountain standing in a beautiful grass meadow with wildflowers all around. there is a sound of rushing water nearby, it's a hard running, narrow, but deep brook. I end up jumping over the brook, encountering a fresh smell of Skunk Cabage. So I planted myself here in front of the skunk cabbage and took a stack of horizontal images for the FG to MG and another horizontal stack for the MG to BG. I processed both stacks with Helicon Focus and then Photo merge the two into a single vertical image.
It was a great day with my honey.
ZOOM all the way In. there is nice tree and mountain detail from the stacking. The Skunk Cabage leaves are cool when zoomed in
