Photography... It's for the birds!

I was setting up my Canon A-1 for a shot that I had previously taken on my Smartphone, and had stepped away from the camera for a moment, and my Conure decided to hop over onto the A-1...
Well, since he was on it, I grabbed my 40D to try to get a photo of him on the camera.

What does the little bugger do when I go to take his photo?  Well he goes and starts pecking at the shutter release on the A-1!

When Canon said that it was so advanced, it's simple.. I don't think that is quite what they meant!
Sure enough, though, the camera never trips the shutter, but it did make for an interesting photo.

The Canon A-1 was all set up with a Halinex 135mm ƒ/2.8 and Polypan F 50ASA film loaded.  Good thing the shutter takes a bit more of a push to trip, as I'm sure this little guy wouldn't have had too much difficulty in releasing the shutter if it didn't.

Until next time, keep those shutters firing!
