A year of self #45 – Hanging with the critters

Honestly, this is just an excuse to post photos of my fur babies.

Nina and me…hanging in the guest bedroom . . .

As is usually the case, the other three eventually followed me in there.

Buddy

Jezebel

Maya

Another one of Nina, for good measure

A year of self #44 – Under the hanging lamp

I shot this in our front door entry area using the light from the hanging lamp.

A year of self #41 – Walkabout

I’m taking a Canon 24-105mm f/4 for a test drive right now. Current owner is offering it at an extremely attractive price. He brought it to me this morning and at lunch I took it on a walkabout. So far I’m quite impressed. It is fast and the glass is very, very good.

A year of self #39 – Window light all around

Just a quick one today. I had a shoot yesterday morning and another one this afternoon, so my weekend has been full of doing what I love. I took this photograph in our living room about 11:30 in the morning. I have a black sheet as backdrop and I am facing our north-facing living room bay window. The day is overcast. Over my shoulder at camera left is window light from the window at the back and left side of the room, creating a decent rim light. From the right was a bit more light coming through our front door (glass storm door), bringing in a bit more light (how much I am not sure). A few processing tweaks, and here you go. My eyes are not as sharp as I would have liked them to be as I was shooting rather wide-open and my DoF was rather short. 50mm at 640ISO.
