Fungi and Myxos
Fungi have long been one of my favourite subjects to photograph and I'm lucky enough to live in an area where a great variety can be found during the autumn months. Recently I also became interested in photographing Myxomycetes or slime moulds, whose tiny (0.25-10mm tall) fruiting bodies come in a range of fascinating shapes and colours, but demand specialised macro photography techniques to capture them well.
