django forloop.counter operation

Question

I would like to know how to replicate this in django:

for photo in gallery
    if counter is 1 
        then use this photo
     endif
endfor

how do I check the forloop counter if it is "1"?

{% for photo in gallery %}
    {% if forloop.counter == 1 %}
       Do something with {{ photo }}.
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

this is equivalent to:

{% for photo in gallery %}
    {% if forloop.first %}
       Do something with {{ photo }}.
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
