As Autumn here is drawing nearer to winter the colours are getting more vibrant on the trees and on the ground. The next few days are of my own grounds or gardens and parks not far from where we live.
Submitting to photo stock sites
I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent researching stock photography sites, reading articles, reading about photo submissions, submitting, creating keywords and choosing categories, getting rejected and waiting for the ‘wait time’ before starting all over again. But I would say the time spent would add up to some weeks of ‘working or awake’…
Dark Brown Mushroom
We get them in all sorts of colours.
More fungii
I had a photowalk at my place this week with the Knox Photographic Society and discovered even more mushrooms on our property. I thought this collection pretty amazing.
Photos now available at Shutterstock
I’ve recently had photos accepted at Shutterstock which I am thrilled about. My latest images for sale at Shutterstock: My most popular images for sale at Shutterstock: You can see the rest at http://www.shutterstock.com/g/kathiemt I’ll be adding to them regularly.
Tiny Orange Mushroom
I have no idea if there’s anwhere I can identify these mushrooms. This one is so tiny and delicate.
White Mushroom
Almost every day I go outside and am amazed at what else I find. We have lots of different types of mushrooms in our garden.
Are the Smurfs home?
Knitted fungi
This one looks like it is knitted.
More fungii
We have white ones, grey ones, yellow ones, red ones, orange, brown, black – you name it, we have all sorts! I’ve also learnt that mushrooms and toadstools are the same thing – people just call poisonous mushrooms toadstools. I’ve been doing some reading to try and identify them.
More fungii
Same mushroom again. These apparently are considered poisonous and have hallucegenic properties if ingested. I’ve been told to keep an eye out for hippies!
Amanita muscaria
Same as yesterdays but more grown up. They seem to grow to maturity in less than a week.
