As they say: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Today I got inspired by
Helix_2648's amazing glowing mushrooms to try one myself:
This is my first attempt at stacking multiple exposures and painting out the parts I need. It's a combination of 3 images, all shot at the same apperture and exposure. One is an underexposed base layer which I additionally darkened in post production. In the second one I lit the mushroom head and in the last one I lit the mushroom from above to get the moss nicely lit. The images are merged via masks, partially handpainted, partially gradients. In addition I used gradient masks in postprocessing to play with the darkness surrounding the mushroom.
