Costa Rica - Cordyceps!
    #9817658 - 02/17/09 11:05 PM (15 years, 1 day ago)

Just returned from Costa Rica.  We were on the western coast near the southern town of Dominical.  It's the dry season there so there weren't many mushrooms, but I did find this Cordyceps species fruiting from a golden ant.  The ant was attached to a leaf at about eye-level.



A living golden ant:


There were a few mushrooms out:




Found this crawling up the side of my bed on my first night there.  Apparently, it has an extremely painful sting but it doesn't require medical treatment.  :uhoh:


An enormous grasshopper:


Lots of bugs, monkeys, sloths, toucans and good surf... Costa Rica is awesome!

Scout, I think you're one of the top photographers on this site.  The lighting is fantastic, are you using an off-camera flash for some of them?  The lighting under the canopy must be pretty low-level.

Nice view from the pool too.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on the photos- I'm glad you guys like them.  :smile:

Like you guys, I'm learning about photography and trying different approaches.  Truthfully, the best photos owe a lot to luck.  My most effective technique is taking a ton of shots.  That way, one or two are bound to turn out good.  :crazy:

BTW, I didn't tan, just burned.

Your photos get better all the time.  I'd agree with BoulderBoomer, you are one of the best.  Just like you I bank a ton of shots to get a few good ones.

I asked about the tanning because I thought you might burn.  I know when I end up someplace foreign I sometimes forget the sun.  A painful burn can ruin a good time.  Thanks for commenting on it.  Hope it didn't spoil anything.
