[Leica] M9, lag time, perception and other things

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Any time I choose to dabble in your realm
I become extremely aware of this lag factor;
and marvel at how you "do" it.
More often than not,
the birds appear and disappear
faster than I can achieve focus
either manually or with autofocus.
(without even considering posture or behavior)

I bow to your patience,
species knowledge,
reaction time,
et al
