[Leica] Bird Eye AF

[Douglas Herr]

Yes these are using my backward blind.  Ordinarily I mow all the grasses down to a minimum level for flammable vegetation control but I deliberately allowed the grasses to grow in a little patch behind the birdbath to get some greenery in the background.

Warblers are among the jumpiest of birds and the camera's BEAF had very little trouble keeping the focus on the bird's eye, even when the bird was partially obscured by foreground foliage.  The only problems it had were when the bird took and extended bath with much splashing.
