  • In this video I get out as much as possible in between the terrible Autumn weather to forage for Fungi! Overwhelmed by the sheer volume and variety of mushrooms, I try out the Nikon AF-S Micro 105mm f/2.8 IF-ED VR while attempting to add to my fungi portfolio. There's nothing quite like relaxed explorations in the forest and I hope you enjoy following my rainy adventures.

    Great video Courtney. I love your macro work and I find this series of fungi very interesting. You're a great presenter, with so much humour and a cracking pair of wellies 😂. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. T

    Just wanted to say, be careful with when teleporting your camera kit as I'm not sure the insurance covers loss or damage by that method. Also, have you looked into an upgrade? The new teleporters come with weather avoidance built in. Seriously, I know I've said it before, your ability to 'see' a composition, and 'imagine' a story, makes for some great images.

    • @CourtneyVictoria
      @CourtneyVictoria  7 месяцев назад +3

      Oh boy, now that's something I didn't consider when choosing my insurance haha! The teleporter definitely needs some tweaking, it goes wrong far too often. Thanks!

    Courtney - Your ability to cheerfully deal with the adversities of light, weather and wind which photographers must face from time to time has inspired me to get out for a shoot when conditions are less than optimal. Watching you for over a year now, I've learned the value of returning to the same spot repeatedly during different conditions or times of day, sometimes getting the shot that didn't exist on my first visit. Thank you so much. Ron

    The Nikon Wireless Mobile App on your phone is solution for portrait shooting low to the ground! I use it on my D750, either on my phone or iPad. So convenient, and back-saving. It is a great way to get around the non rotating back on the 750!

    Focus shift is incredibly useful! Massive time saver and really handy to make sure you have fully covered the subject. Loved the 'Three's A Crowd' with your 750 though

    These are wonderful images, and I'm amazed at the variety of mushrooms in your area. One of my own favorite fungi photos of this autumn is of a semi-translucent capped mushroom, but I've never seen ones that were almost transparent before. Those are just fascinating. (P.S.: I agree with your choice of best image at the end.)

Not many realise how important a lens hood is in contrast control! I also agree with your last 'favourite' image choice.

    Very hard to pick a favorite. They all show so much and different characters. I too really like to crawl around and take macros. I also use a Laowa (65 mm in my case), together with a focus rail. It makes the focus stacking easier. I could really recommend Nisi focus rail, which are very high quality (I prefer focus shift though, but sometimes you want 2x…). Thank you for all your fantastic videos and photos. The are an inspiration.

    Hello Forest Dancer, I appreciate all your hard work in putting together these wonderful videos... Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the process on how you approach your subjects to be photographed. I own a Nikon 105 f2.8 micro, I find it's a joy to shoot with. Winter time can be both challenging and delightful to photograph the world around us. I hope you and your family are safe and in good health... Looking forward to another great year of watching your videos and especially seeing your awesome photos.
    Wishing you Happiness this New Year.
