Art Everywhere Photographed by Radha Rangarajan
Photograph Description: Rainforests, for me, are synonymous with fungi. I love photographing fungi and I think they represent rainforests and the monsoon best. Wading knee deep in a stream one night in Valparai, I came across this cluster of Mycena fungi on a drifting piece of wood. While they looked beautiful from the top, it was these patterns on underside of the fungi that struck me the most.
Technical Details: Focal Length 55mm | f/18 | 1/30sec | ISO 200 – I used a fill in flash fired off the camera to light up the foreground and keep the background dark.
Radha Rangarajan, one of Darter’s Photography Experts, made this photograph at Valparai.
