“algo” has had a love/hate relationship with mushrooms since a toddler. He writes:

It all started down on my Nana’s farm where on cool Autumn days one of the things we’d love to do was go Mushrooming. We’d hunt in dark damp places for them and would marvel at the different colors, sizes and shapes that they came in - these bizarre little things that looked like something from out of space.

While he enjoyed looking at the mushrooms, he always balked at eating them. But, that feel for the “hunt” has stayed with him and he now stalks mushrooms to shoot with his camera. You can benefit from algo’s expertise at Digital Photography School, where algo lays out information about “How to Photograph Mushrooms, Toadstools, and Fungi” for free. Learn about shallow depth of field, perspective, and slow shutter speeds so that you, too, can enjoy your fruitful hunts - in more ways than one! “algo” also maintains a gallery at flickrti, where you can view some more of his fantastic work.
