Subject: [Leica] PWIFLI: I am not Doug Herr

A couple of weekends ago, I came upon this fellow wading in the shallows in 
Blaine, Washington.  Now, I'm not Doug Herr, and I don't have a 400mm 
Telybazooka.  But I had to do something.  So I mounted my 90 on the M4-P 
and tiptoed as close as I could get.

So, one Great Blue Heron in black and white, Delta 100, 90mm Elmarit, 
probably 1/500 @ f/8.  This is only about half the frame, blown up as big 
as I dare.

I really wish I'd had an SLR and a longer lens for this one.  We're really 
at the limit of a 2700 dpi scanner.
