- Try to find undamaged specimens
- If possible, take the picture from the best side in terms of image
composition
- For fungi (other than rare ones - see Conservation
Guide) on soil or leaf litter, you may be able to reposition
specimens to good effect
- Carefully fold back or remove obstacles that would obscure part of
the picture, but retain as natural a foreground and background as
possible
- Use a tripod or other means of avoiding camera shake - a common
cause of poor picture quality
- Focus just behind the front edge of the most important fungus in
your composition
- In close-up photography a small aperture, giving maximum depth of
field, is usually best for pictures intended to help with
identification

| Using a tripod and cable release avoids camera shake and so
permits slow (small-grain) film or digital images with the long exposure and small
aperture settings necessary for good depth of field in natural
daylight conditions. |
