It's autumn here in the UK and it's time to do some woodland fungi macro photography with the Pentax K1 and 100mm Macro Lens. Autumn is a great time to photograph fungi and mushrooms in your local woodland as the warm days and cold nights with damp weather is the perfect conditions for fungi and mushrooms to grow on the woodland floor.
I was really keen to use the Autumn weather and the changing of the season to produce some fantasy inspired woodland macro mushroom fungi photography as part of the Pentax Youtube Photo Challenge as issued by @LeeIveson
The full high resolution set of images made can be found on my flickr page here flickr.com/photos/geoff-moore/sets/72177720303093592
The other Pentax shooters who are involved in the Autumn Challenger are listed below. Be sure to give them a watch, like and a subscribe.

In this video I also explain how to do aperture stacking of close up subjects which is my prefered method vs Focus stacking, which is especially useful if you have focus breathing lenses like I do.
Please let me know your favorite image from the video in the comments section below.
Until the next video, take care all

![Ramshaw Rocks Staffordshire | Peak District Landscape Photography | Geoff Moore Photography
The scenery at Ramshaw Rocks in Staffordshire is rather out worldly location especially when the conditions are heavy fog and mist which makes for a foreboding photographic subject. The highly unusual Ramshaw rock formations almost look like they were formed in the very beginnings of time and are often overlooked in favour of the more well known Roaches rock formation. To overlook them is a big mistake.
On good weather days photographing from Ramshaw Rocks provides stunning landscape photography subjects and interest of focus and well worth a visit. Parking couldnt be simpler as there is a little layby off the A53 past Upper Hulme and before the Winking Man pub. The walk from the car park up onto the rocks is straight forward and is very easy, perhaps only a couple of hundred meters at most. Parking: https://bit.ly/2sOGeQs
The weather forecast was for it to clear by 09:00 and we started to contemplate moving on. Noticing some clear patches appearing above as the warmth of the sun slowly evaporated the fog and mist. Then all of a sudden the clouds started to lift and we were presented with the stunning views looking down Ramshaw Rocks towards Leek and Staffordshire Moorlands and on to the Roaches beyond..
So for you unfortunate lot Im back on the small silver screen with a short 6 min video showing my adventure at Ramshaw Rocks in the Peak District UK and I hope you enjoy the images I managed to capture in the less than ideal conditions.
An opportunity presented itself very recently with my photography mate Mark, that would allow me to get back into the motions of landscape photography and filming my adventures with the camera
Im a little rusty so the images and my video do leave a lot to be desired, you have been warned :)
I would love to hear your thoughts on my little adventure and the images produced, so why not leave a comment, like and if you watch on youtube please subscribe to my channel

![Summer Hay Bale Photography | Seasonal Photography | British Farming | Geoff Moore Photography
The summer months are fading fast and Autumn feels as though its just around the corner, with this, the farmers have started the harvesting of the Hay and leaving the hay bales out in the field ready for collection.
Forgetting to photograph this each and every year I made a concerted effort not to this summer and made my way out in to the hay fields of Worcestershire to capture this seasonal activity.
With each passing day of the week just gone the fields containing the hay bales had begun to disappear as the farmers had started their collections. Working full time only provided an opportunity to shoot straight after work on my way home. I had identified several fields at the start of the week that would be suitable for a spot of hay bale photography, but by the time I actually managed to get out with the camera I was left with just one field remaining.
Sensing that time was not on my side I chanced my luck with the weather and the farmers in order to photograph the curious bales of hay dotted throughout the fields near to my home in Worcestershire. The light was poor and the weather although promising to start earlier in the day had turned into a dark and overcast evening.
Although my first attempt didnt quite go to plan a revisit the following day allowed me to capture the hay bales with the light of a warm summer sunset. The compositions were made even more interesting with the backdrop of Dunstall Castle set off in the distance.
So why round bales? Round bales are also easier to feed out, you can just roll them along and the hay unravels. ... The reason they are in empty fields is that because of their good keeping qualities, you can bale them up and then just leave them where the baler spat them out until you need them - so reduces handling and storage.
I would love to hear your thoughts on my little adventure and the images produced, so why not leave a comment, like and subscribe
Comments, suggestions always welcome.
