unit 208 theme 1 -Stanton moor and Robin hoods stride.

I thought these were fantastic specimens ! We were walking through Stanton moor in Derbyshire looking for mushrooms and came across these fly Agaric. I thought they would make a good photograph nestled in the grass, with the texture of the leaf litter in the foreground and lush green moss growing on the tree root in the back ground. I  lay on the grass for this shot as I wanted to get eye level with the subject, I also wanted to get the texture of the white on the fungus cap .

The gate keeper.
ISO 400  1/50    f 8 
I just glanced over my shoulder and caught this fella keeping his eye on me, then I notice the stone circle called nine stones in the back-ground .The rule of thirds applies vertically in this photograph. 

Stone Ridges.
ISO  400 1/50 f8 
These extraordinary ridges are found on the top running down vertically on a really large rock that balances on the top of robin hoods stride ,I have no idea what has made the deep gorges in the grit-stone rock but they look intriguing . I love the texture and the lines created in this stone.

On the way back from Stanton moor we stopped off as we saw a set of rocks  high up on a hillside called robin hood stride on the lime stone way and decided to investigate , I liked the look of this tree growing in-between the rocks  leading to the top of the ledge ,the picture has not really turned out how I would of liked , probably  better in b&w if I was to choose (may be slightly over exposed) Again rule of thirds applies.
