Hey y'all,

I've added a second seagull shot to the gallery. This, obviously, was 
taken within minutes of the first one, though in shadow this time.  
Therefore, it has a vaguely menacing mood as compared with the first 
one,   With a wider aperture and much less DOF, I elected to prefocus on 
the area where the birds were approaching the boat.  I think shots like 
this demonstrate the unique advantage of the rangefinder camera.  You 
can "see it coming" and time the shutter release accordingly.  It's much 
harder to do with an SLR and -- because of shutter lag -- darned near 
impossible with any digital camera I've used.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

I've also added a couple of new ones to the black and white sub-album:

I'd like to post some local (Washington, DC) photos,. but I've been 
shooting everything with my Rolleiflex SL66 these days.

All the best,

Craig Roberts
