The Mundane as Art Round Nine. Moss and Lichen! (contest by @kus-knee)

in #mundaneart7 years ago

Couple of days ago I've noticed an interesting photo in @oldtimer 's blog. A photo of huge rock (at least it looks like rock) completely covered with all kind of different lichen. Looks almost like a painting. Why did he took photo of it? Well it's another round (9th) of a contest organized by @kus-knee. This time he is looking for photos of moss and lichen. Something we don't usually search and admire ... at least i thought that.

The photos in the original thread got me intrigued. I know I've seen many great moss scenes back in my airsoft times while we were spending every Sunday morning in the woods. So i browsed all of my photos ... nothing. Checked most of my hiking photos ... nothing. Oh well i guess it's time to get out and find moss and lichen.

I was searching for a moss composition all around the area but i couldn't find anything worth taking photos. But than on my evening walk with my dog i noticed a tree behind my apartment building that had really interesting white mushrooms growing out of a thin layer of moss. That was it i thought. I just needed some light to make a decent photo with my old camera =)

The next day was a blast. Extra sunny winter's day. Perfect for my intentions. So this is what i managed to get. I hope you like it.

Amazing photos, With the right perspective you can make anything look interesting.

Yes that's what this contest is all about. Picking something very ordinary and making it the star of the show :)

You definitely nailed it then :)

Lichen is a pretty amazing organism and they can be found all over the world. I love the perspective
