I am so jealous it is ridiculous. I want to go on their vacation.

Now, you should tell them to post their photos in our Member Gallery

That has to be the best set of field photos I've ever seen!

what moss

He's very wary of people knowing what equipment and parameters he used for his photos - I just tried to view the exif information and there's pretty much nothing there (!). I just wanted to know what lens he used. He did say in the thread that he used a Canon 30D DSLR. I would guess he used a Canon 540ex flashgun. I think from the sharpness of the photos he either used a macro prime lens or one of the pro end short range Canon zooms. I don't believe he used a bracket or a softbox because the reflected light is too harsh.

I hope that helps you Canon enthusiasts.

The moss in the 9th is sphagnum.
