Mini Daffodils in widescreen

Spent an hour or two playing around with my anamorphic video lens along with some new screw-in filters that allow the minimum focus distance to be dramatically reduced from the standard 75cm down to 15cm or so. This allows you to do widescreen macro in video. All sounds a bit perverse and unintuitive, but, it creates (what I think is) a view and perspective that is impossible to get short of cropping a 16mm wide-angle lens view. Spent a short while outside playing around, but, it was bitterly cold. A task for a warmer day.
This is a single frame from the resultant 4k test video. The frame width is 4096 DCI width but the height is slightly larger than standard 1080. This is standard cinemascope aspect ratio.
