"Glowing Mushrooms" Post-Processing Tutorial

We’ll start with a single mushroom and illuminate it with LED. The challenge here is to combine exposures seamlessly. The second part is more complex. We take the same technique and apply it to multiple mushrooms in one frame.

What’s Included?

This package includes:

• Part 1: “The Magic Mushroom” (in full)

• Part 2: “A Trip to the Forest” (raw only)

• Part 3: “Muscarine Nightcap” (in full)

• In-depth article that discusses lighting, composition, and even finding mushrooms.

• 4 PSD-files (resized) with every adjustment still present

• Read-me file linking to additional tools

• Special attention goes out to get that dark mood that's so prevalent in any of my works.

• Fully narrated (audio included) and subtitled.

This really is a complete tutorial and I trust this will get you to the next level in post-processing not just mushrooms, but many more landscape subjects as well.
