EMWL 130° objective over-under!

OK the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek. I thought about this shot because of the on-going APS-C thread. The camera being used is the APS-C format Nikon D7200, DX in Nikon-speak. What is interesting is the above water portion shows the lens hood blocking part of the image suggesting a greater angle of view in air relative to in water.

That is me in the background (wearing a cap). I was in front of the lens to better observe what I was shooting. Note the better viewpoint in the topside shot showing the set-up from the front compared from the other side of the creek. The back of the camera view better depicts the shallow conditions. The APS-C advantage here is a slightly shorter camera housing. My main alternative housings are for gripped cameras so much taller. BTW the salt marsh plants, Carex sp., have seawater around their base at high tide. I include as well a shot with the EMWL fully submerged. These are Pink Salmon. The offspring of these fish are due about 3 weeks from now. This species matures at age 2 so there are separate odd and even year broodlines. The population size odd year broodline is about an order of magnitude larger than the even.
