Tiny Lanterns on a Mossy Wall

It seems the forest wasn’t finished surprising me that day. After finding the tiny Mycena adscendens carrying that oversized droplet, we stumbled across another colony — same species, same walk, different tree. Only this time they were a little larger (a whole 2–3 mm!) and lined up in a perfect vertical row along a mossy trunk, like miniature lamps climbing their way toward daylight.

The challenge? Light. Or rather the lack of it. The forest was still wrapped in that wet, grey, sleepy atmosphere. Since my MP-E 65mm was already pushed to its limits earlier, I switched things up and used the Sigma 24–70mm Art on the Canon 5DsR. Shooting at f/2.8, 1/400, ISO 3200, I had to rely on every bit of available light — and a steady hand — to keep those microscopic caps sharp while letting the background melt into soft mossy texture.

What I love about mushrooms like Mycena adscendens is how easily they’re overlooked. People step over them every day without ever noticing the tiny worlds unfolding at their feet. But get close enough — really close — and you discover small universes: droplets clinging like glass ornaments, translucent stems glowing against dark bark.

Same forest, same species, same walk… and yet a completely different story.
That’s the magic of photography: the world doesn’t repeat itself unless you ask it kindly.

A little trick to make medieval scenes more interesting - put off grid and rotate everything a little bit ↩️
I believe there weren't any strict city planning rules back then 😅

Tiny World - a cute medieval town scene created in Defold with Depth of Field, curved world, skybox, shadows and other interesting effects.

Added Depth of Field effect and in my opinion it looks even more cute 🥰

But what do you think? Is it better? 🤔

a drawing of a tiny world, ringed in mountains, with a lake at its centre.

it's been a couple days because life got in the way.

#draw #drawing #draweveryday (in principle) #sketch #penandink #tinyworlds

a sketch (rough draft in red pencil, lined in ink, shaded in pencil) of a helmeted knight holding a sword in one hand, and the crowned head of a king in the other. the knight is standing on a tiny world, with mountains on its east.

tiny world inside-out

#draw #drawing #draweveryday #sketch #mastoart #fediart #tinyworlds

a drawing is a tiny world inside-out. the roots of a tree grow over the horizon, while its foliage stretched into the center. mountain peaks obscure the leaves, as a river flows too the edge of the world and falls off

better worlds are possible (and so are tiny ones).

a drawing of a tiny world. on top are giant mountains, with a river flowing down past grassy plains and into a sea at its bottom. tidal waves roll across the south.

tiny world or giant head? 🤔 🤔

Laying in Wait. #SpiderWeb #MacroPhotography #Arachnid #NatureDetails #GardenLife #InsectPhotography #WildlifeCloseUp #TinyWorlds #SpiderSeason #WebArt #CreepyCrawly #smartphonephotography #photography

A close-up, high-angle shot of a brown and black patterned spider nestled in the centre of its intricate, funnel-shaped web. The web is spread amongst green grass blades and some dried, orange-brown plant debris, which forms the background and a frame around the web. The spider is dark, with visible legs and body segments, and appears to be waiting in its lair. The image has a slightly desaturated, moody tone with a dark vignette effect around the edges, drawing focus to the spider and its web.

A Micro-world of Wonder. #ForestFloor #MacroPhotography #NatureDetails #LichenLove #FungiFriends #WoodlandWonders #MossyAdventures #NatureVibes #TinyWorlds #BotanicalBeauty #ForestLife #smartphonephotography #photography

A close-up shot of a fallen, moss-covered log with various types of lichen and small, vibrant orange fungi resembling tiny trumpets or hats. The log is dark and textured, covered in patches of bright green moss and greyish-white lichen. The background is a soft blur of dark green trees and hints of mist, giving the image a damp, atmospheric feel.

I Trapped a MAGICAL WORLD in Glass! 😱 (Wait for the Twist!)

✨ Tiny Worlds. BIG Drama. ✨
Watch as I turn ordinary glass into jaw-dropping mini universes! You’ll see:
🔮 A hidden lagoon under a coffee table 🌊
🍂 Seasons changing INSIDE a glass cabinet 🍁❄️
🌌 Glowing galaxies in a desk lamp 💫
