Contented Cat
Lens: Sigma APO 300/f2.8 Camera: K-7 Photo Location: The Lounge Shutter Speed: 1/4s Aperture: F4.5 
Posted By: cmohr, 01-15-2012, 01:30 AM

A little pic of my cat Carl. Taken with my Sigma 300/f2.8 and K-7. ISO set at 640, 1/4 sec at f4.5, with -0.7EV. Pretty happy with the result, but he did move more than once..

Q: Why do people photograph flowers?
A: Because they don't have a cat.

Lovely pictures of a lovely cat. Glad it was raining because Carl is a lot more interesting than flowers.

Carl will be getting a bigger head than he already has with all this praise

Thanks again for the comments Folks, I still so pleased with the IQ even tho it was with a relativly high ISO (for the K-7) and such a slow shutter speed, 300mm and 1/4 of a second exposures usually end up in just great blurrs of fuzzy images, especially when it comes to anaimals.

Arrrrrrr
