This pigeon portrait is probably one of the earliest digital photos I took that I can actually tolerate today. Taken in 2006 #bird #birds

@baldur
My avi pic is one I took back in 2010. I'd planned to watch and photograph Old Faithful from the deck above Old Faithful Inn's entry way. I was eating a Clif bar as I waited. The raven was obviously very interested. I crinkled the now empty wrapper and took some photos as it hopped from bench to bench. Thus Pavlov's Raven portrait was taken. The full photo barely has the full raven in it. I wish I'd had a 100 mm lens with me instead of the 135 mm one I used.

@baldur Looks a lot like taken on film. What camera did you use back then?

@ralchev I added the grain in post. It was just the budget Canon DSLR of the time.

@baldur I loved film so much that I bought a Nikon F4s when everybody was using DSLRs. And I developed the films in the basement of my grandpa.

But today I love digital with my Fujifilm camera. I have my own film simulation recipes, no post-processing. And it feels awesome. Using a manual lens adds a sprinkle of joy :)
