Welcome Hippie - I went digital 17 years ago but never gave up my three Minoltas. Now I'm rediscovering them and film. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
I would crop it tighter, through that upper rectangle and the bottom chain, but that's just my taste. I think it's good.
85°. Cool. Now I can bother all my friends about the temperature swings in my yard.
I have excellent results with a Canon Digital Ellph, 12mp with a macro setting. I shoot a lot of flower blossoms and it works well.
I had a $100 Canoscan that gave me as good prints with my printer as I ever got from the drugstore. Now I'm looking at an Epson 550. Not to make art prints, just to make pictures.
We shoot film because we like to. I started in the early 50s. Don't get me wrong, I have two DSLRs and two P&S, they are my go-to cameras and I always have at least one or two with me in the truck. I also have six film cameras, one a 1937 RF, and I always have one of those with me. Just because I like those cameras, their weight and feel, and the film technology. Should we give up drawing and painting because digital is more efficient? Give up singing or playing an instrument because CDs are more efficient?
Shooting film is it's own end, like outdoor landscape painting. I'm sure the youngsters taking up film also have a smartphone camera handy if not some other digital camera, and computers, and printers.
He looks great! We had one like that, friendly and loyal.
Great pictures on Facebook. Thanks for that reminder about 60 seconds of twilight. :)
Nice color and reflections.
I like that, like an Impressionist painting.
I like that, interesting content, stark light like a nuclear bomb just went off.

LOL, I did look for that, but these were young dairy cows used to being around people.
They are curious. I was in a cow pasture (watching where I stepped) photographing a barn a few years ago. I saw the cows, Holsteins, but didn't pay any attention. I'm taking pictures and I feel something nuzzle my back. I turned around and this heifer jumped back and I saw a semi-circle of a dozen just standing and staring at me. They followed every move I made, right back to the fence. Just curious, not dangerous.
