Kcar said:Again...the eye and the paws...beautiful work!
Are you using a zoom lens?

catalina_francisco said:I wish. Some of them I use the macro function, some I just go with a standard setting. I would like a digital SLR but will have to wait. Must say our calico cat is extremely patient....I set the camera on macro and was less than an inch from her eyeball and she just waited for me to take the pic, though she gave me a little bit of a look afterward!!![]()

Now here's your challenge....... Erotic Impressionism, using only lips, legs or eyes for subject matter.![]()


catalina_francisco said:She is excerptional that's for sure, though at the moment they are both flying through the air with excitement because I am not sleeping so is huge thrill for them!!At this rate I could lose my head!! Anyway, we went for a drive to Germany yesterday, and I can't bear to think of the pics I wanted to take and didn't get to because the driver didn't see why it would make any difference to drive 200kms and a couple of hours down the highway to when it was nearly dark and the countryside totally different from the beautiful storm lit places we had driven through with picturesque farmhouses and tress just begging to be captured...so today out of frustration I decided to spend time photographing a bouquet of flowers I had sitting in a vase...it helped some.

Little_Kitten said:Wow I absolutely love these photos and drawings....
How do you do the light-effect on some of the pics? You know the flares, and the fading-effect...
Oh and those paw-piccies are absolutely adorable.![]()
I'm not a fan of flash photography, partly because I don't have an independent flash source at this point, but mostly because I love natural light and the challenge of getting it to work in low lit conditions...so most are taken without flash, at most I might put on a lamp or overhead light if it is an extremely dull day here. I love playing with shadow effects from the light coming in through a window etc., and I also use things like dissusion filters at times to soften a pic, or a starburst filter to get the 16 point burst of light from shiny objects like the ornamental piano. LOL, I can spend hours just playing around with a couple of flowers and photograph anything and everything that comes within range of the lens and me.

Cat-
WOW! Those are fantastic images. They are incredibly crisp. I honestly don't think I've ever seen the like anywhere on the Internet. I'm full of questions, but I'm not going to bog you down.
Bravo!!
Trysail

.... I haven't done that in a while =(

Truthfully, I don't know how to upload images and this is giving me a hard time... I'll try to figure out and show you what changes I made.
