In October 1986, I borrowed a Nikon F2 and its macro (55mm) lens and spent a few hours on my belly, trying to get pictures of mushrooms. For the most part I wasn't successful. I shot two rolls.

Then I switched to a roll of Fuji 1600 film and -- at the time -- I still didn't like what I got from that: grain so large that most detail was smeared or clumped. This is a good example, though it is the example I now like best, thirty-one years later, having just scanned them all. The yellow mushrooms are chanterelles (which I probably picked after photographing them). I am not sure of the one in the left background
