Green Sea Turtle

Green Sea Turtle, originally known as Green Sea turtle swims past school of Racoon butterflyfish, is a sample picture included in Windows Vista, licensed from Getty Images. It was taken by Jeff Hunter. It depicts a green sea turtle swimming past a school of Racoon butterflyfish. It is a digital composite, created out of photos taken near the Kona Coast of Hawaii, USA. The image was taken down from Getty in 2020.

History
Jeff Hunter took the pictures that make up the composite in August 2001, with all elements of the pictures being authentic to the location. He used a Nikonos RS with the Nikonos 20-35 mm zoom lens, lit with two Ikelite 200 Underwater flashes with homemade diffusion disks on the lights, as well as Fujifilm Provia 100F (RDPIII) film. The picture was edited using Adobe Photoshop and digital scans made from the original film.

Hunter also licensed other photos to Microsoft for use in Windows, although none others were shipped with versions of Windows, so it is most likely they were used in downloadable themes. He is happy that it was used in Vista, and considers it a "good license".
