Two days ago, while walking along Panorama Drive in San Diego neighborhood University Heights, I came across an unusual crop—if that word can be used—of mushrooms. They stood out for their number, small size, and very existence. Too many residents replace grass with imitation greenery or rocks/gravel. So it’s also a wonder the fungi had any place to grow.
The Featured Image is the first of only two photos taken. This one uses car tires for perspective showing how tiny, and many, the mushrooms are. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/200 sec, 28mm; 2:16 p.m. PST.
Leica Q2 features a Macro mode activated by turning a ring around the barrel of the f/1.7 Summilux lens, which I used for the second shot. Vitals, aperture also manually set: f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/800 sec, 28mm; 2:16 p.m.
