MacroKitty: 6mp & 105mm 2.5 Vivitar Series 1 K-A Mount

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:

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>

Nice cat, nice lens, nice idea Lindy!<div></div>

I love cats. :)<div></div>

and, finally - not to leave out my scaredy-cat ... she hates papi and you'll never see them in the same picture together.<div></div>

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...

Might as well join in: Pamina (also a scaredy cat)<div></div>

My comment above was wrong. I just found the Technidol...

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 :)

@ 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...

Here is a picture of one of my cats.............:) New breed from Shetland Islands I think..........:)<div></div>

one made with a Pentax SFXn for the dog people<div></div>

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

just in case :-)<div></div>

Love the photos all..

 

Here's my cat, Sir Harold Doodles.. AKA: Harry

 

Took these with the same lens as the OP - Vivitar Series 1, 105mm Macro f2.5 @ ISO-1600 !!<div></div>

and another, same lens, ISO-1600 as well..

 

(who says the K10D doesn't perform well at high ISO?)<div></div>

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.

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.

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.

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>

and the other..<div></div>

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.

Matt, how can you possibly dislike animals that sleep 18+ hours a day? :)

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.

Here's my tuxedo cat, Mr. Mackee.<div></div>
