I'm not going to lie: using the world's heaviest 135mm lens(*) on a rangefinder with 100 ISO film and trying to photograph birds is far more difficult than I thought it'd be.

Thankfully, this goose was enough of a poser that I got away with it.

*note: I have no proof of this but it is really bloody heavy
 
This is one of those technically bad photos that I love anyway. Backlit, portrait mode on my iPhone focused on my dog's nose and not her eyes, and I had to process it more than I like, but it captures the cute "can we play now?" look on her face when I took it.
