Actually this picture is a happy accident. I followed the kitten into the shed, where it was sitting with the sun beam getting in through a crack in the wood. Otherwise it was dark as the night. So I popped up the internal flash, result dark pic? wtf? But I saw it flashing. So I redid some settings, and shot again, no improvement, while the (feral) kitten was so thoughtful to keep staring at me, I selected 3200 ISO and minimum shutter I deared full open and flash again. That resulted in this shot. And I wondered why the flash did not do it's job.
Later the problem was solved, the camera is simply too complex and I need to study more and remember to reset odd settings. The flash control was set on triggering external flash a few days earlier which produces only a weak flash for that triggering result and I never set that back. But it had this picture as result. With the flash full blowing the picture would have been much flatter.
I am so going to get a warning for connecting "the universe in a marble from men in black" to "I see the cats eye nebula in your kittens eye" image.
I can just hear the astronomers in my head; "That's not anything like the http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_741.html" ..."
btw, have I mentioned that I also consider your photo to be worthy of worldwide notice? Incredible photo. ps. I hope to be back to "wtlm" thread in a few weeks. It's still b.s. crazy at you know where.
