Mr. Mittens (my neighbor's kitty) continues to come by over the last couple weeks or so to occasionally pass the time with naps.

"Mittens napping on one of his favorite astronomy books" (natural light, 50 mm, f/0.95)

"The waiting game" (natural light, 50 mm, f/1.4) Mr. Mittens keeps an ear out, listening for the neighbors (his real family). Sure, he tolerates me and feels safe enough to occasionally nap at my place, but he knows who his real family is.

I've worked several shifts at Comic-Con events in San Jose. Was this the 72 hour straight version? Those get real interesting, especially near the end...

It was three days but they only went the first day.

I was out yesterday planning to shoot the lunar eclipse later in the evening, and while waiting I shot this photo.

Look at it... what a boring photo... just some field, right?

And what's that in the middle of it, a scarecrow or a bird, or?

Let's zoom in... (using digital magnification)

I can't quite make out what it is, let's zoom in further...

Oh, it's a deer in the middle of a field.

"I'm just hanging out here..."

Definitely not amazing photos, but I thought it was pretty fun anyway .

Considering the distance to the deer was estimated to be 350 meters, it's pretty amazing that a modern camera and a vintage 400mm lens can pick up that much detail, I think.
