Special back adaptation on my OM-4 so I can shoot widescreen with my Zuiko 300. Don't remember if I had the teleconverter strapped on for this one. It's especially handy for reclining flamingo at long range. I've never been too proud to crop;^) > And the turtle shot is even better! How did you make that one? Shot from a boardwalk into pond with heavy plant and algae growth. Noctilux depth is so shallow, no reflections were in focus. I guess the nocti's bokeh has been described as "spacey." The place I took this is a nice demonstration project. City storm water runoff is routed here to a man-made wetland that filters it naturally before it is release into the Pamlico River. They then installed a recreational boardwalk around it--river on one side, wetland on the other. It's planted in cattails, water lily, and lotus. The muskrat, nutria, cooters and other wildlife have acclimated to people. thanks ric
