This time I used ADOX CHS 50 film, the sharpest film I ever had in my camera...

Here is the result of one of these trials.
I'm not sure if the image shows peace and happiness; but I'm happy that the swan understud my wish and positioned himself in the place I wanted him to be, after half an hour of heavy concentration on him and waiting...
