Barton's bush is a small block of protected native bush alongside the Trentham Memorial Park. It is so protected that there are fences along all the walkways to stop you going off the track. Probably a good move for me, less chance of falling down another hole! However as a photographer this also made it very difficult to photograph all the wonderful fungi that we found yesterday.
It had recently rained and the weather was warm. Perfect conditions for the fungi to grow in. I have never seen so many different varieties of fungi in this bush before and many of them I didn't manage to capture because of the fence. I didn't set out to shoot fungi so I wasn't prepared for it either. No tripod for a start! Photographing anything in the dark is a mission without a tripod and macro shots of fungi are even more of a challenge. The bush is dark and there just isn't enough light to get a steady clear photograph without noise showing in the image. I am sure there is a lens out there that could do it but it's not currently in my possession.
Most of my images are extremely noisy due to the bad lighting but I have put some up here anyway just to show you the amazing fungi that is growing less than a mile away from where we live. Photo fodder so close to home!
