@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I was always pretty awful at darkroom work—pictures that I knew were there never came out the way that I felt that they should. I eventually resorted to dealing with a high-quality commercial lab. With digital, I can try things, undo them, copy the original and try different combinations, and more. Plus, of course, the nature of my chosen subjects means that I have to take a lot of pictures, most of which will be worthless.

@moz @Asbestos @tomjennings @mattblaze Fascinating. I've seen birds that fly off or move to the other side of a tree trunk just when I'm about to focus. Maybe it's not coincidence.

@Asbestos @tomjennings @mattblaze @moz I took lots of pictures (and a few videos) of ravens this year, including some of a juvenile with a parent standing by—no trouble! As I always say, better a corvid than covid.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I’ve never yet had a bird object to how I photographed it.
