"Sherry " wrote in message ... Very cute kitties. Boo has a "messy" face. One of my friends always referred to my late cat, Cory, as having a messy face...when there are lots of assymetrical markings on it. Candace I love tuxedos. Especially unusual ones like Boo & Cory. My Bootsie has a solid black face, but a white chin. It gives her a very petulant expression. Bootsie and Cory sound beautiful. I am trying to catch Boo when she is spread out on her back so everyone can see her bikini. She is pretty much symmetrical everywhere but her face. The fur is growing in from the ultrasound of her heart. But her bikini bottoms are still falling down due to her big belly. We are supposed towait until her heart rate is stable for some months before we tackle the overweight issue. What is most beautiful about Boo--even though she is a thoughtful cat--and very laid back and circumspect--all you have to do is touch her and she will purr within 10 seconds. She loves people. All people, it seems. |

"Mary" wrote in message m... "Cathy Friedmann" wrote All of these cats are adopted strays. http://photos.yahoo.com/crazyaboutfelines. I esp. like the "happy cat' one of Gnarly. Plus, IMO, dilute torties &calicos are just so very pretty. I love that one too! She really doesn't look mean in that one. When I first saw her I had never seen a dilute tortie and just thought she was the most exotic thing ever. i'll always miss her. The ones of Cheeks on the window shelf crack me up because she just decided to perform for the camera. She does the same thing every cat does when they wake up. That yawn killed me--I had no idea she had blotches inside her mouth! After the last stretch, it was down to the food bowl. Cathy, you take lovely photos of your cat, I esp. like the closeup of Demelza in abpa. Thanks; I like that one, too; it came out nicely detailed. I used the macro mode, but also probably managed (for once) to not move the camera at all when I hit the shutter button, for the crispness to prevail. I am just learning how to use my camera--it is a Nikon 4300. When I put the "red eye out" flash feature on, I get those chatreuse glowing eyes. Do you know how I would set it to have the cats look directly at me and not have weird eyes? It is the kind with an auto setting, then a bunch of things like "day at the beach," "indoor party" and then completely manual settings like f-stop, speed and such. I plan to experiment when I have time but wondered if you have any tips. Sorry, but unfortunately, no, I don't. I'm new to digital cameras - didn't finally get one till this summer, & even w/ my 35mm SLR film camera, I relied way more on auto settings than on manual ones. However, you could probably ask on the alt.binaries.photos.original ng; they seem to mainly be serious photo hobbyists in that group, & would most likely know technical pointers. Cathy |

(...) Demelza in abpa. I am just learning how to use my camera--it is a Nikon 4300. When I put the "red eye out" flash feature on, I get those chatreuse glowing eyes. Do you know how I would set it to have the cats look directly at me and not have weird eyes? Basically, you can't reliably - at least with the onboard flash of a P&S camera. You can: i) Get an external flash (if available) - bouncing the flash off a nearby wall will reduce redeye. ii) Avoid using flash by either increasing the ISO value of your shots (with increased noise, alas), or using a slower shutter speed (with a risk of blurry pix). iii) Remove the redeye in software. iv) Somehow pursuade the cat to look at the camera at the critical point when redeye reduction is in effect (ha! Good luck!). My inability to get non-redeye cat pix with my P&S camera was one reason I upgraded to something better than said P&S. Steve. |

But... the digital P&S I bought (Canon PowerShot S410, after reading a slew of reviews for 2 weeks) was *already* pricey, IMO. Something better? Ackkk! (price) Cathy Steve. |
