An Olympus Pen D3 is not the ideal birding camera. But I was caught unprepared as I walked back to my car, past a steady in the brook by the hospital I was coming from. There was a shag, a cormorant, there and I wanted to get its picture. The shag is at the centre of each of these frames. Shags are uncommon here, especially on fresh water. I had a roll of a new-to-me film, an Eastman movie film, cleaned of remjet by the company I bought it from, and rated by them an 800-speed C41 film, ideal for tungsten lighting. Not exactly ideal for outdoors on a brightish day. But I took a series of pictures anyway; you know the saying about lemons and lemonade. Methought together they made a nice series, and especially so when I converted it to b&w.
