  1. Lovely shots Emma, and quite topical for me.
    I've just purchased Blacks nature guide to Mushrooms & Toadstools. Thought it about time I tried to know what I see when I'm out. lol

  2. These are beautifully lit Emma. How? Reflector, flash or both?

  3. Thanks for your comments.
    Adrian: Some flash but no reflector in all of the pictures.
    Keith: That's a good guide. I also like the Collins Guide to UK toadstools (Santa might be bringing it for me!)
