This particular bird tested the near-focus limit of the 280mm f/2.8
APO-Telyt graciously loaned to me by a fellow Leica user while my own
280 is
in the hospital. He tested the camera, lens, tripod and photographer
for
flavor while I kept sensetive parts away from his inquisitive beak.
Technical stuff: Leica R-E, Leica 280mm f/2.8 APO-Telyt-R, E100G film.
Hi Doug!
Another superb shot!
Where do you find wild turkeys? I always thought they were a rather shy
bird. No?
Thanks for looking, David. The turkeys are in the floodplain of the
American River flowing through Sacramento County. This part of the
floodplain has walking trails and a golf course so the turkeys are
accustomed to seeing non-violent people. This particular bird was so
accustomed to people that the minimum focus distance was an issue.
