Photographer Barry Webb (previously) continues his hunt for the speckled, glimmering, and ice-crested organisms that pop up close to his house in South Buckinghamshire, U.Okay. Armed with a 90-millimeter macro lens, Webb ventures into woodlands and different pure areas the place slime molds and fungi thrive. There, he zeroes in on their microscopic options, documenting their wildly various traits that always final for only a transient second in time. Latest photographs embrace 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.
