ENTRY DESCRIPTION
From the simple element to nature's most complicated plant, mushrooms and fungi really captivate me because they are so cool to take pictures, colors, sizes and shapes are so distinct.
In general, they clean up debris from biodegradable elements and consume old and old foliage, and it is normal for them to be found in the fall between decaying leaves and trunks.
On the other hand, they are elements that show the quality of the surrounding environment, their simple existence determine if the soil is polluted or in good condition, as well as the air quality. This image was taken over a decaying old trunk, with an 80-200 lens and 2.8 aperture, creating an effect that struck me as extremely beautiful and interesting among a patch of light that illuminated them.

AUTHOR
My name is Antonio Bernardino Martins Coelho, I am from a small village in the north of Portugal, where I live. I am 40 years old, married and father of two girls. I work as an electrical engineer. A taste for painting was evident in me early on, but it was only in 2010 after a trip to Cuba that I became interested in photography, having captured a lot of images.
However, having a small digital camera, I started to acquire analog equipment and develop the photography learning activity in a self-taught way, using very old and medium format machines. My favorite camera is the Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
