[Leica] IMG: Adelaide wildlife, kind of

[jviiret at gmail.com (Justin Viiret)]

Hi Geoff,

Yes -- when I first bought my M3 a few years ago I was doing my  
postgraduate study at Adelaide University, and I used to wander down  
to the river to relax and occasionally photograph the swans. One of  
the earliest pictures I took with the camera and a 50 rigid summicron  
is here:

They're very tame, too -- even the cygnets are convinced you're about  
to feed them and will paddly up to you and squeak away. They used to  
go for the shiny little lens cap fairly often, too. ;)
