These images were never intended for publication. They are a by-product of a method development project. As some of them turned out quite well I decided to share them.
I believe the lens was set at f11, possibly f8, with 215mm of extension (effective aperture for the f11 option around f45 or so) with open flash technique on E-P2. Essentially, the flash was fired and metered by my OM4 film camera. In effect, this was manual flash with the E-P2 but with it not having any part in firing or metering the flash.
This is from the time when I was not yet convinced that it was safe to use my legacy, T-Series, Olympus film flash units on the E-P2 hot shoe.
This is the background to the session:

This gives more specific details of the moss shoot, two images of which are omiitted here:

The images all had the same blue background, except the last, which had matt black.
Two example images (one blue, one black background) are posted below.

Thanks, Brian.
I planned to shoot quite a few of the variety of mosses in my garden, and then move on to search in other localities. When I searched, earlier this year, not many had fruiting bodies. The leaves are a bit boring.
