mushrooms are efemera - nothing yesterday, awesome mushroom today, and a rotten remains a few days into the future.... this is all correct.
speaking of me, this summer I was living almost 3 months in the village, and was shooting them in my garden, so, I could choose any time of day and come back later etc etc. ideal scenario, not often possible in the real life. real life = "available photography", if you have camera with you, unholstered and ready to use, you can take a photo of some of the moments that pass you buy, at their solid speed.
:P
that is the art of photography, after all... isnt it?
PS. I just posted my Q-stuff 12 minutes ago. did you?
