[Leica] Another Mockingbird Image

[Jim Nichols]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we have observed the resident male 
Mockingbird sticking around all winter, while his mate takes a 
vacation.  Here is an image made in January 2011, showing the 
then-resident male.

This was taken with the Oly E-1, with a Pentax bellows to which was 
attached a lens that is now about 125 yrs old.  It is an 8-inch portrait 
camera lens identified as a No. 6 Symmetrical, made by Ross (London), 
and is equipped with Waterhouse stops from f/16 to f/64, but no 
shutter.  The image was taken at a distance of about 15 feet, from the 
cab of my truck.  The lens was "wide open".
