It's been a glorious day here, so I took my camera for a walk this afternoon.
Buried in the undergrowth, on a dead tree stump, was a bracket fungus. I took a couple of shots with the 70-300 which was on the camera, and then changed to the 60mm macro. I had to lie face down on the wet grass and try to get as close as I could, but as I'm currently nursing a bad back I could only take one shot before I had to beat a retreat.
When I got home and processed the shots I was amazed by the colour and texture of what I'd initially thought was a piece of torn paper.
Here's a 100% crop (70-300 @ 70mm)
And here are three 100% crops from the 60mm shot.
