Subject: [Leica] Reduced Flash Intensity for CloseUps

After the flash burnout in my spider image yesterday, I decided it was time 
to explore the reduced flash options available with the Oly E-510.  I set 
the flash intensity to -2, the lowest setting available, and shot three 
closeups at my desk.  The attached link shows the best of the three, a 
full-frame image of the front of my computer case, though all were useable.  
I think this will help when fill flash is needed with flowers and insects.

I just thought this might be of use to someone else, as well.
