14mm 2.8l Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's Kahless, a homeless cat that adopted us 10 years ago. Wife's snowstorm pix from an hour ago. I thought it might be nice to start a pentax/samsung imaged critter thread: <P><IMG src="http://adkinstone.com/images/Kahless-010608-1.jpg"><P><IMG src="http://adkinstone.com/images/Kahless-010608-2.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Lindy - one of my cats is an exact match to yours... my Miel - he's got that same long fur and pout - and, if your cat should be about 20+ lbs... maybe they're related. :) My boy is about 11 - I got him from the MSPCA - 9 years ago, and he's a complete love.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2imaging Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 When I was in high school, I had a kewl shot of the remains of a cat that had been hit by a train. It wasn't gory or anything, just very interesting textures of fur, bones, wood (rail tie) and gravel (ballast) captured on Tri-X with a Spotmatic. Most viewers didn't know what they were looking at until I explained it. As I have been searching for my Technidol for 2 days, I'm wondering if I will run across that 19 year old film first...

rogerdaltx Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 hummmmmm Nice photos everyone... but what I'm learning... Pentaxians are CAT PEOPLE... No wonder I'm on the fence... I think my dog and me are going for a walk... hummmm cats.... it's gonna be a Canon afternoon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 @ Roger R. - Note that my 1st thought of a favorite cat shot is one that I made almost 20 years ago. I'm still looking for the skeleton, probably in a closet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose_duclos Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 my poor misguided friends - you just haven't been introduced to the right cat yet... that's all. Roger R - I love dogs too - I just don't have the sort of free/@home kinda' lifestyle where I can own one... Why dont you give us a pentax picture of you're buddy? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a few images Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 and another, same lens, ISO-1600 as well.. (who says the K10D doesn't perform well at high ISO?)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 When I woke up after waiting for the second shot of Harry to load, I remembered one of the things I like about my dog: She doesn't shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a few images Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 lol - yeah, I have not found out how to resize images in Aperture yet.. send tips this way :) And yes. They're a pair of fur factories (I have two). Every other day is Swiffer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Oh! That's easy, why didn't you ask? I actually have a preset for the 510 pixel limit on photo.net, I'll make a tutorial in a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a few images Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I wish I could edit my posts here.. Anyway, I found how to edit the size of the exported images in Aperture, it's only the EASIEST thing to do.. Anyway.. here they are in all their smaller glory..<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus maurer Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Tom, if you scale the photos down to max 511 pixel and if you add a caption at the same time we will see it immediately without clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Matt, how can you possibly dislike animals that sleep 18+ hours a day? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That's why I like ferrets. They are as smart as dogs, but they sleep 20 hours a day. If you get tired of being cold-nosed, you put 'em back in their cage and they go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
