In Franz Pangerl's book (whose name I have forgotten I am sorry to
say), he describes "painting with flash" using OM2s and QA310s (or
any flash gun for that matter). The setting on the camera has to be
sufficient to remain open for over a minute and he moved around the
scene flashing on manual. The subject was a lovely German church
with gilt "trimmings" (reminded me of Vierzehn Heiligen in Bavaria)
and it looked quite dark. The flash itself was hidden from view
behind pillars and other fittings. The effects were great; there are
"with" and "without" views to show the difference.
This is not TTL flash control BTW; the flash is merely set off on
full power (or any manual setting if you like). I must try this now
I have mentioned it :>).

Here is another question for the pros:
I was tinkering with my OM-2 this weekend while shooting some wedding stills
of the flowers. I set the camera and flash on a tripod and used TTL Auto.
I bounced the flash on the ceiling and it was insufficient to close the
shutter, so it stayed open until it was satisfied. This produced excellent
results in a candle-lit room.
How can I do this with an OM-4 or 4T? (It wants to close the shutter and
give me the 'under' signal.)
