Field Notes

Notes:

I have to go find the name of these again.
Front walk after twilight. There was a row of puffball toadstools stuffed in between the edge of the grass and the brick pavers. I had to get a shot of these, and to feel I could do it I turned on all the outside lights, left the garage open with its lights on, turned my phone to a white page, (hoping it would help even though they were far from any lights really), balanced the phone on top of the grass so that it would stay put and could shine light onto the mushrooms as well as it could (which was only about a third of the phone), adjusted the aperture of the lens and shot on supermacro with a flash. I've never seen them cluster like this before!
