PESO: Prince of the Pond

[Paul Stenquist]

I shot this princely fellow yesterday during a walk in Bloomfield Hills 
Nature Center. I used the *istD with the A 400/5.6 with an A2X-S 
converter and the Sigma 500 super flash with the Kirk magnifier. I need 
the magnifier with this rig even at fairly close range since the 
biggest effective stop I can get is f11. The shutter speed was 1/1000. 
Handheld of course. Note that only the princely head is above water. 
The rest of the body is seen through the murky pond water.
