This is Charlie sitting innocently next to a tree in our backyard. A few seconds after I took this he galloped up the tree, jumped onto the wall, and made his escape. He showed up shortly afterward in our neighbor's backyard.
This is the first episode of catblogging taken with my new camera. Did I need a new camera? Not really, but a bunch of desires have accumulated over the years and I finally decided to give in to them. For those of you who care about such things, it's a Nikon Zfc and this picture was taken with a Tokina 11-16mm (16-24mm equivalent) zoom lens at its widest setting. The Zfc is an odd camera, but seems to be pretty good aside from one or two little weirdnesses. It's also very small, which is standard these days, something I don't like since I have big hands. But I'll get used to it.
I have an old Pentax K1000 sitting in my office....looks really similar. Ok, you don't have to advance the film.
You know what they say, "Big hands...."
Still life with leaves …
I have big hands too. Just thought I'd throw that out there...
If he were in front of the tree he'd be nearly camouflaged.
My camera has to fit in my shit pocket and if I drop it or step on it I won't cry. My wife's iPhone camera takes good photos.
Might wanna give that "shit pocket" up.
Meooooow. mischief bout to happen...Kitties know.
One handsome cat!
Now, all we need is a big hot dog bun and some ketchup and we’d be all set…
A very good-looking kitty cat.
Lovable young kitten Charlie now exemplifies adult gravitas, almost want to call him Charles. .
The Drum cats are seriously handsome fellows.
So, you've never had a desire to get a medium format digital camera?
What about having one of your DSLRs converted to an infrared camera by replacing the image sensor?
There's murder over there.
