Lake Gull in flight

Visited small pool in the nearest park to test my 135mm lens (of 1961) and Zorki (of 1955) on water fowls. As I haven't get suitable viewfinder yet, it is not always easy to catch the bird perfectly - but this one is almost fine! I learnt that small gulls with brown head are called "lake gulls" in russian nomenclature (and "black-headed" in English). #35mm #bird #flight #blackandwhite

    I have difficulty framing with my Zorki 4, and it has a basic Jupiter lens.

    @neufotomacher this picture really is approximately half-cut from the whole frame :) However I since bought attachable viewfinder and things become better... except of course distance still needs to be judged manually...
