These are from the relocated images from the first few days of the trip. Due to the delay, some details have been forgotten, such as whether these were, as I suspect, all on rocks.
I thought I might have used other than my Kiron 105mm lens but the EXIF data tells me otherwise. This was with my Kiron, probably at f11, definitely 1/250 at ISO 400 and TTL flash, hand-held. (These were probably on the rocks surrounding the shaded hotel car park).
I usually crop my images unless the composition is the best I can achieve. Some photographers who post here insist that composition should be in the viewfinder. With no strong preference to crop these, I present them as I saw them in the viewfinder. This leaves some significant areas of OOF (mainly in the fourth image) giving a real sense of the 3D nature of the lichens and of the substrate.
It is difficult enough to identify our native genera, and Corsica has a very rich lichen flora, so I am not going to attempt to put names to these. I am fairly sure that the first and third are the same species.

Thanks, Brian. My world!
These show only a few examples of lichen morphology and colour.
