Beauty Born from the Touch of Rain — My Mushroom Photography Experience।There are many small wonders hidden in nature, which we often do not even notice with our eyes. One morning, after rain, when the surrounding soil was wet and cracks in the rocks melted, some strange beautiful things came to mind—small mushrooms! They looked like natures artwork. It was then that I felt the need capture this moment on camera.

I was amazed by the photos. How delicate and perfectly formed these little creatures are! The water droplets on their caps, the wet soil around them, and the natural shadows of the rocks — all together, it was like a piece of living painting.

Mushrooms are not just food, but a symbol a special biodiversity in nature. They usually grow in humid environments, especially soil and decaying organic matter after rain. The mushrooms in photo were thin brown their wing-like umbels glistened sunlight. At first, they looked like dried flowers, but up close, they were alive—a gentle wonder nature.

The structure mushrooms is also truly amazing. A light round shape in the middle, and fine, folded lines all around, which look like stars. Inside these lines are spores seeds, through which mushrooms reproduce. Despite being small, their life cycle is quite unique.

This is where the real joy photographing nature lies more you look, the more you discover. While photographing these mushrooms I realized that patience observation greatest teachers photography. It took a while get lighting angle focus right but when image came out clearly it felt like hard work worth it.

My favorite photos I took was the close-up mushroom, where every line it was clearly visible. It was nature had painted each brushstroke on its body with its own hands. These pictures reminded me that beauty not always big flashy—sometimes it is hidden in very small silent places.

I learned a big lesson from this small experience—no matter how busy nature is all around silently doing its own thing. If we take a moment look, there is something new learn every day.

Mushrooms have taught me patience, subtlety, and value silent beauty.

Photography is not just about taking pictures it kind experience. When you approach nature with a camera in hand, each frame becomes story. That story consists light color, smell, and life.

These small moments in Shah Alam, Selangor will remain very precious memories for me. Maybe tomorrow these mushrooms will dry up, but their beauty will remain in my pictures — and in my mind.

Such a connection with nature makes our lives a little calmer, a little more fulfilling. So I say, take your mobile phone out sometimes — maybe the next amazing photo is hidden in the garden next to your house.
