Golden vegetation during late autumn thaw: part 2, colourful plant macros

in photography •  5 years ago 

Weather has been unusually warm and rainy lately in Canada, so the previously accumulated snow melted and left intensely colourful tones to the decaying plants that had been buried underneath.

Took my camera to the park near Montreal to capture that appealingly dreary phenomenom.

A fungus painted a dead branch with an awesome blue colour.

I used a Sony a77 camera and a Sigma 24mm f/2.8 macro lens.

Hmm... it looks like something from a fairytale 😍 the tales has to come out of something 🎄

Quite so ^^
It may have magical properties if brewed in a potion.

Wow that blue branch looks like something from avatar. There's a purple crust fungi that is bright like that down here after the snow melts.

It does! The purple one must look magical too, it's a rare colour in nature.

Loggers hate the blue stain fungus because it reduces the value of the wood. Though if you plan it right a blue streaked wood floor would look interesting.

That blue is real?? :o
I thought you did some Photoshop magic to it! So cool :)

It is! And no photoshopping, only basic Lightroom tweaks (ie. increased contrast)

The fungus is from genus Chlorociboria

Oh my! It really is blue! So awesome :)
