Another FA50 Portrait

Another FA50 Portrait · 12:12 PM

Well, I didn't say it would be a people portrait.

I've been under the weather this week, so I haven't been able to get out and shoot anything. Since I'm homebound, Timbo was kind enough to pose for a few shots. I guess this could've posted this in the "Pets" thread, but I haven't posted anything here in forever so I figured I'd post it here.

Props to Keitha for telling me about that Dipstych program. It works like a charm and is great for stiching multiple pictures together.

Thanks Jimbo.....here's another from earlier today. Both were shot with natural window light.

I cannot get my cat to pose for a decent photo. You are lucky. Nice shots. I wish I could get something similar with my cat.

Frank, try a black cat... I have two...

Nice series Alan!!

Thanks guys!

I have a black cat who doesn't sit still at all. Even if she did, I'd still find a way to screw up the exposure. Probably one of the tougher subjects to expose properly in natural light.

BTW, I just remembered that the second shot was taken with the DA*50-135.

I really like the third image, such a strong expression.

Also, my mother has a few black pets, and yes they are hard as hell to properly expose, especially when the sun's out.

Photographing cats are is so hard, they never look at the lens.

Nice one Maxwell, your diptych is great. Although its no oilcheck gauge.
