I began digital photography this year after decades away from film because of cost and time. It’s a journey of relearning old skills and mastering new tricks like editing. Here’s a Feb photo where the colors match what I see in my mind of a bluetit after remastering. 🖍🤖

Guest post from !animals@lemmy.world, @jeena@piefed.jeena.net. I speculated on this shot due to limited info; ‘Setting sun’ versions may color-shift the shot. Lovely new colors! African bush elephant, the largest land animal, weighs ~7 short tons. 🖍🤖
