I got lucky, just took this one shot, hand held, but with the body leaning against table, and it is usable
Click the image to see all the 'baby' fungus all over my sensor ( this is a full frame)

What size are the black spheres?
I'll take a shot just for you Tim ... any excuse not to work

Still trying work out of the spore sacks are translucent and fill with black liquid and then dry out, or what? Some of them look half full - I'll try and find an image.

That extra pic you posted is fantastic! Makes me really want this lens...

I have no idea if the spores are harmful to me or the lens
But I found my nose running (probably psychosomatic) and chose to leave it that way as some sort of defense
At one point I forgot myself and removed the lens in front of the toms with the camera still switched on.... probably sucked a cazillion little babies onto the sensor

I think I left this too long - as you say, it's a bit tricky getting a nice composition when they get too long.

The setup - 28mm soligor , reversed onto extension tubes. My Metz is still broken so I made do with a 1 sec exposure and firing the fill flash by hand.
This is the first one I noticed had potential
then I straightened it and left it soft and pastel coloured.
C&C welcome more work needed I think. Really need to get in closer so I can take the full frame.

The one overriding quality of the Brits hostorically, is they don't stand for this sort of thing. I get the feeling it is just so much easier to brainwash people in this day and age.
The anti-terrorism argument is being used for everything these days. The only people winning are the government and the terrorists.
I feel a facebook campaign coming on.... it worked for the Christmas number 1 !

I have no problem with the ethics of the shot and I think you should be able to take it and publish it. It's no more public now than when they were walking about.
Essentially, if they were hiding, then they were successful, as we can't identify them, so publish away!

I'm guessing they start out white, fill with spores and go shiney black, then dry out and form smaller, cratered spheres.
