Group f11

In 2008 three photographers, starting out on their careers, decided to keep in contact through a blog page in which they could share ideas, post images and ask each other advice. This has since mutated into a web space where those photographers still meet, but so too do their students and other like-minded photographers.

Hi Jason

I like this shot! I think the OoF highlights are a little burned out though. This would have been quite difficult as it seems you had quite a contrasty scene to shoot. One way would have been to underexpose slightly for the background and add light to the shroom either through the use of a flash or a reflector (tin foil or an old hand mirror that has been gone over with a course sandpaper work as excellent cheap reflectors or else there's the expensive Lastolite option). If you use a flash make sure it's off camera so that you can position for a more natural kind of light (almost like natural light reflected off water).

I like your advise Emil, simple enough for an amateur like me to apply.
