Photographer Barry Webb
continues his hunt for the speckled, glimmering, and ice-crested
organisms that pop up near his home in South Buckinghamshire, U.K. Armed
with a 90-millimeter macro lens, Webb ventures into woodlands and other
natural areas where slime molds and fungi thrive. There, he zeroes in
on their microscopic features, documenting their wildly diverse
characteristics that often last for just a brief moment in time. Recent
shots include a tuft of Muppet-like fuzz topping Metatrichia floriformis, a water droplet suspended between two cup-like Craterium minutum, and a cluster of Pink stemonitis filaments propped on spindly black legs.
Webb has won several awards in recent months, including from the
Royal Photographic Society and Close-Up Photographer of the Year. Four
of his photos will be featured at the Vienna Mushroom Festival next month, prints are available on his site, and you can find more of his work on Instagram.
