[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a "new" scanner, a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 purchased used. There are a lot of old slides I can scan now. This one is from 1988, made while my (then) infant daughter was napping. The Anna's Hummingbird is a year-round resident of the west coast of North America. This particular bird's domain was anywhere within 5 second's flight distance of the feeders in my back yard, a region of about a 1/4 mile radius (slight exaggeration). He had a favorite perch and fortunately for me it was at my eye level. By approaching slowly and calmly on foot, I was able to get within 6 feet of the bird. The 400mm Telyt will focus that close with the dedicated extension tube 14182. The tech stuff: hand-held Leicaflex SL with 400mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock, 14182 extension tube, K64.
