Gents,I took my motorbike and Digilux with the new toy to the near by Vallée de Chevreuse where a wild life place exists.
On the way, I wated to stop for a light snack at the airport of Toussus le Noble, lovely place. as they touted it, it was the centurary celebration of the "chopper", the helicopter. In fact, it's a French Invention, so they said, 1907, one kilometer of fly with no crash, a former employee of Peugeot.
Back to Leica, photography: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/_1020595_cor.jpg and http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/_1020591_cor.jpg (I dont't find it in the catalog, any ideas?)On the way back, I stopped in a"reserve" and tried with no success to catch the stags in the mating time ( I was along with Canonist which had lenses with a "sewarge diameter")
But I managed to make some pix of few predatory birds (Douglas Herr, Pardon :) )
http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/_1020664_cor.jpg Here is a detail (on the "fly") http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/_1020664_detail.jpgThe last one is 200mm (which is 400mm on a Digilux), Vario Elmar, f5.6, 400ISO, hand held.
If you are interested into the aviation meeting, please look at: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/All images are from the 14-50mm or the 80-200 Vario Elmar (at F4 or 5.6), most of them in fact, in particular, the Gendarme preparing to fly the Eurocopter with twin engine, 200mm:
http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/Birds/_1020615_cor.jpgIn fact, I have succumbed to the advert from Leica and the taunting images from David but the Zoom is obviously ready for Digital, at least with the Digilux3
