Cool find. Yes, an angled viewfinder attachment would really help with these types of shots.

What a wonderful colour. This sort of picture is why my aching bones love the swivel screen and permanent live view on my Lumix GH2 :)

Yes ... have to bend ..... nice shot.
lou_rozensteins30-May-2012 01:16
I sympathise!!! A great fungus though and probably worth the bend! I wouldn't try eating it!

Wonderful, love the colour!!
no pain, no gain..hehe, did you lie down to get this? ..you could put camera down and use the remote.

This is a great point of view though. Love that purple color with the gold trim. Quite beautiful. V.

oh I know what your saying...like JJ's idea though LOL!!

So many of them look so good, but this is a winner
Chris29-May-2012 21:21
How beautiful but I imagine the colour is for a purpose...
Johnny JAG29-May-2012 21:02
You need a toepod, simply attach a tripod ball head to a steel toe capped boot and with a remote trigger you never need to contort again.
Love the colour.

What an unusual one! Shall I bring the custard?
Well done, I know what you mean about having to get so low :0)

What an unusual little fungi, you must be so fit Sheila! At a guess I should think this one is not for the plate... !
