These are all crosseye stereos. Single frame images will be posted separately.
I found this colony growing around the side of a thin, dead branch on the ground. We usually see these fruiting bodies growing up vertically from the tops of stumps and don't see the detail of the lower parts.
I was working on a bench top and took the opportunity to use all three flash guns freestanding, taking the weight off my heavy Printing Nikkor 150mm setup. I retained this for some shots with the Kiron 105mm. Ideally, for all stereos, the light should come form the same position for both frames of a pair but it usually makes little difference, certainly with more than a single flash.
The Printing Nikkor was at 1:2 at the sensor, the bottom of its best performance range, and at f11.
Of the two similar pairs the higher magnification was with the Nikkor.

Thanks, Brian.
I was working in fairly ideal conditions and could concentrate on centring and exact focus.
I have just uploaded single frames in a separate topic.
