Too cute not to share

I see you are shooting your cat outdoors .Rive said:No photos please!
For every mouse and bird crossing its path, it is a real predator.DennisN said:And the cat has got such a cool stance in the photo; it looks like a real predator.
Just luck ... The next one came as this:DennisN said:I see you are shooting your cat outdoors .
And thus, more dynamic range in the photo.

Animals can be quite tricky to photograph, I know . They do as they please.Rive said:...and two minutes later she was in the house again, in the darkest corner

It's because you're not a replicant.BillTre said:I've tried it a few times without great success.
Yes, me too.BillTre said:I really like this effect.
Another attempt, different problem - though this one is familiar alreadyDennisN said:Animals can be quite tricky to photograph, I know . They do as they please.
You definitely have got more detail of the fur of the cat now!Rive said:Another attempt
Interesting! I have noticed that swirl used to excess recently in Shogun. They use it in practically every shot!DennisN said:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A fun thing is that the new Dune movie, Dune Part 2, was partially shot with modified Russian vintage lenses, including Helios 44.
Source: ‘Dune: Part Two’ Was Shot Using Vintage Soviet Photo Lenses (Petapixel)
As an example, here is a shot from the movie:

A scene from Dune: Part Two that was shot with the Helios 44 (inset). My note: Christopher Walken is shown to the right.
Look at the background blur in the shot above and notice how it's distorted (it "swirls").
Well, it's the same kind of swirl as in this photo I've previously posted in this thread (photo #3 in that post):

Thanks!BillTre said:Nice shot.
This time I purposefully did not go for direct illumination, because I wanted to catch some of the light going through the flower. Actually I've started shooting more shots with the Sun "partly" in front of me (sometimes directly in front) to get different kind of light (and sometimes possible optical artifacts from the lenses). I like to experiment.BillTre said:The colors are nice, but I think they could be more vibrant if the side of the flower toward the light (sun) were directly illuminated.
Well, there’s a lot of Moorish influence in Lisbon so it’s not as surprising as you’d think.DennisN said:Lovely!
I really like this kind of Mediterranean style architecture. It's chaotic and unpredictable, so to say.
(though I'm well aware Portugal is not adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea)
