Phoneography Macro and Cee’s B&W Close Up | The World Is a Book...

Phoneography Macro and Cee’s B&W Close Up

This week, Sally is showing her “budding magnolia” photos. She captured the incredible details of the buds with her iPhone.

Mushrooms like these are rarely seen in the field in this part of Texas. I was delighted to capture these three small and delicate mushrooms with my iPhone. 🙂

Take a look of Cee’s stunning closeup shots:

Happy Tuesday! 🙂

Amy, in the first image the droplets are like jewels glowing new life. The monochrome shows off the umbrella-like design of the mushrooms. Do you think that humans used them as an example for a prototype for the parasol. Happy Photo Challenge.
