‘Glowing Shrooms’ Guide
Ever wondered how these magical images of Glowing Shrooms are captured? How to illuminate them so they look like they are glowing in the dark, and how to combine images and process them? It is technical but also incredibly creative, and I show you how in full detail.
In this Guide I take you through the whole process step-by-step, from essential gear and useful accessories, techniques for lighting, shooting techniques and tips, composition tips, and processing, stacking and blending the images from start to finish.
Also included is a gallery of some of my own favourite images with descriptions and insights to inspire your own creativity.
The Guide has been published both as a downloadable eBook and an online resource separate from this website. Being online also makes it more convenient for you to study on a bigger screen.

Any Camera
Shooting Glowing Shrooms can be done with just about any camera, all you need is a Focus Bracketing Mode which most modern digital SLR cameras have. The guide is written with easy to follow steps that can be applied to any make and model. A Macro lens is needed, although you can actually produce great images with any lens to get started. Tips for gear and lenses are included.
Also included is how you can get around using a camera with a fixed screen.
No Articulated Screen?
Also included is how you can get around using a camera with a fixed screen. Most modern cameras have fully articulated screens but some only flip out from the bottom. It can make it awkward when you’re clawing around on the forest floor and you cannot see the screen. I show you how to get around this too.
