Thanks, Nathan - as described in the text, one shot was with the 
E-330 in Live View braced on my knee, and I don't contort very well 
to have done that with optical view. The other shot that was braced 
on a low stump could have been done with optical view, but I would 
have brought back a lot of dirt on my pants along with the 
photograph. The Live View is something I use perhaps only 10 percent 
of the time, but having that creative added capability is similar to 
why we pay the extra $ for that added optical excellence of Leica lenses.
