Lichen/Moss

This stuff is pretty scarce around these parts. I know of one dead tree that has a small amount on a few braches.

Thanks Douglass! There are a few boo-boos, but they turned out pretty good considering the contorted position I was in try to get a stack.Both are well done, and image #2 is beautiful.
#2 was the only growth of this kind. I was surprised how nice it looked when I got it on my monitor.

Back when i hit the woods more often, I used to bring back scraps of moss, fungi mushrooms, etc., and arrange them in a 2 gal fish tank/terrarium. Made a beautiful little piece of nature for the book shelf.

Bill, the second photo of a fruticose Lichen is truly beautiful, the best I have ever seen.
I tried to ID it exactly and found photos of the same but with no ID. The only one I found with an ID and similar spiky fruiting bodies was Letharia columbiana (a relation of Wolf Lichen). This is found in Montane conifer forests in Northern California but I am not convinced it is the same as yours.

Yeah some haloing (sizing with software?) in the first and a few OOF spots in the lichen-- but tough. Overall, nice, and love number two. Was this a slider stack or a focus ring stack?There are a few boo-boos, but they turned out pretty good considering the contorted position I was in try to get a stack.

Very pretty, especially #2. They remind me of ocean coral and anemones.

#1 is 8 images; #2 is 5 images
Both are handheld. So far, H-H is all I've ever done. I have yet to use my focus rail, the attachment I got for the focus ring or even my tripod for that matter. I always plan to, but I just don't seem to get around to it. Not possible to use in this instance and almost impossible and for me, in most other cases in the field too.

Thanks. I understand the thrill/risk/impossibility. The last field stack I attempted, I scrapped: I was perched on the side of an incline that ended with rocks and water while trying to stack a "turkey tail" on the side of a tree.Zerene pmax is all I used.

There were too many errors and I decided it wasn't worth it. ;-)

I won't even mention what happens when a cat walks across the rail controller keyboard during a stacking run.

Nicely done Bill. I too favor the second image. These types of lichen are quite prominent in the woods here...

I was going through my files and found another Lichen/Moss image. These are what I usually find, even though these are very scarce also. These are from the same section of branch but, some time ago.

Very nicely done! Come to Maine. We have tons of mosses and lichens! Even on the north side of my roof!
