Hi everyone

In the same place I found these two types of moss
Hypnum cupressiform & Orthotrichum tenellum
In relation to the first species, it is an authentic miniature forest moderately sensitive to atmospheric pollution, it is the species that is commonly used in cribs and for various fungi and animals, as a source of food or for the construction of their shelters.
Regarding the second species, it is one of the most common species here in Portugal, which grows on trees and has a good tolerance to air pollution.
knowing these characteristics, we can conclude that the air is less polluted in places where Hypnum cupressiform is abundant :)

Regarding the shoots,it's amazing how macros with their blurred background can result in such different images full of contrasts and textures especially with this kind of subjects.
In the world of photography, especially macro photography, there is a universe of things available to everyone, enabling totally different and original approaches.

For this session i used my mobile with this macro lens on the right corner of the picture:
Small, but you can get some cool results :P

Let's move onto the result:

F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 450
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/500 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 600
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/300 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 800
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/1000 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/600 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400
F-stop: f/0 | Exposure time: 1/450 sec. | ISO speed: ISO 400

These photos weren't taken with a tripod, hence the unclear result.

Thank you

There are nothing special in these moss. They are so common. But you gave it a different effect. You made me look at moss on a different perspective. 👍👍
