There's something always awe-inspiring whenever I point my macro lens at small objects in nature. Like this time, I discovered a cluster of tiny mushrooms growing on the surface of a piece of decaying wood. At first glance, they might not seem like much, but upon closer inspection, their shape is beautiful and unique, resembling a small, yellowish fan reflecting the soft light of the morning sun.
These mushrooms grow in damp places, beneath a canopy of trees, where the scent of earth and damp wood combine to create a serene atmosphere. I had to get as close as possible to capture the detailed texture every tiny curve and fine grain looked like a natural work of art, perfectly crafted by nature.
Macro photography always gives me a new insight into how many hidden wonders surround us. Objects this small can teach us to pay closer attention to the simple things that are often overlooked. In the silence of that small forest, I realized that beauty doesn't always come in large, flashy forms; sometimes, it's just the size of a fingertip, clinging quietly to the old wood, waiting to be discovered.
馃摳 I took this photo using a macro lens on my phone, with some color and contrast adjustments using Photoshop Express to make the details and texture of the mushroom appear more vivid.
