Robert wrote:Agree with JK, very remarkable images. Thank you I'm not sure what the spectrum of these is. To the naked eye they glow a faint off-white colour. When they are fresh they glow brighter, and as they age the glow diminishes. With good weather you might get a week out of one. If there is rain they tend to turn to mush quite quickly. We go hunting for them in the day and then go back at night to photograph them. If there is a moon and/or overcast light pollution becomes an issue. We usually have umbrellas with internal lining in the car to try and minimise the light pollution if its bad. It doesn't matter what brand of camera is used, its the long exposure the camera sensor makes them this colour. My photos are generally 3 minutes or more, others prefer shorter with higher ISO. Its very much trial and error, particularly as the fungi ages.

Thanks for the info, it might be worth trying multiple shorter exposures, say 30 seconds? Then multiplying the exposure in photoshop or other processor to amplify the light, or even duplicate a single image Technique used in astro photography for faint objects. Have you tried UV light? A 365nm torch is cheap enough but wear protective glasses please.

Anyone identify this caterpillar? It's been driving me mad trying to identify it. Sadly a poor underexposed image in very dark area.so maybe the colours are a bit contrasty from over processing ?? ![]() Click here to comment on this image.
