It's the old reliable split 8mm format, standard frame: 4X36mm.  
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;^)

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
