exactly how enormous are the aperture and sensor in your camera dunkman

I have a 7D (crop sensor), and that picture with the tongue was taken with a 70-200 2.8 IS at 200mm at f/2.8

yeah i don't understand cameras that well :o:

nonetheless it's impressive that they came out that well in natural light with what must have been short exposure times. i figured the aperture and sensor would have to be fairly large in that case.

esp. given how bright the whites are, jebus

define irony: spending 3 grand on a camera and poo poo to take photos of some dumbass cat licking its not-nuts





I do a lot more with it than just take cat pictures, although if I could be a professional cat photographer for a living, I would.

Maybe 1 year of instate community college tuition, I guess. Or maybe just a semester some places.

is this a real post??

crank iso, use noise reduction or go black/white when shooting in low light situations, especially when super fast aperture doesn't help enough.



But in that specific situation, with the sun light backlighting Gizmo, it'd almost be impossible to meter to have the cat be bright, and not have the rest picture look completely blown out. Also, at that shutter speed the cat would have been a blur across the entire floor. Thus the solution is to use a flash!

sounds like you need to regear and go full frame. photography is all about the equipment.

this is true, you can get around things like composition, lighting, poses and anything else buy having the right gear. usually the right gear is very expensive, so better start saving!

For example, this was shot with a canon film camera from 1992 (bought for $20 this year) with a $50 lens.



You can't do that kind of thing without spending at least $50-60.

The PetSmart near my house on sundays has the SPCA come in and set up a bunch of cages with their cats that are up for adoption. Definitely see if any of your local big box pet stores do that. Make sure it's the SPCA (the "pound") that hosts it though so you're not buying bred cats.

It's like you come around a corner going to the cat food aisle and BAM, 30 cats all meowing and sleepign and rolling around in cages. That's where I got Esteban. $250 the SPCA wanted for this 4 year old who was "a terror to other cats, doesn't get along with anyone." He had been bounced to Fort Worth, to Denton to finally Dallas.

And they got it! And now he's the tiniest baby kitty ever.



All he wants to do is fight Dogs:



But with cats, all he wants to do is flop over on his side and try to get them to fight him. Since he's much too much of a gentleman to use his size to his advantage.

But really, all he's good for is loving up my photo shoots:

I'm going to SXSW wed-sun and I have a cat sitter coming over once a day to take care of tiny baby Esteban, but I am still nervous about it. What if she eats him, or even worse, forgets to feed him? I'd better buy a giant feeder bowl. Either way he's going to poop on my bathroom rug like 10 times just to spite me for leaving.

I dont have any pics of it, but I have a full wall closet and the sliding doors are mirrored.

Every time Esteban walks in the room, he sees his reflection and arches his back and takes a few powerful steps towards it, then settles down. EVERY TIME. He thinks that a him-sized cat is walking towards him.

Then late at night with all the lights off he attacks the closet doors and bangs on them because they a) rattle and b) look like there is movement in them.

Ok everyone, I need to know the following things about your cattes:

1) Your cat's name
2) Your cat's real name
3) Your cat's nicknames.
4) A picture of your catte


FOR EXAMPLE:

1) Esteban
2) Baron Aloysius "Esteban" von Fluffington III
3) S. T. Bahn (for European business purposes), Estie, Fluffbutt, Buttfluff.




thank you for your time
