Thanks! I was happy with it myself. As noted elsewhere, Dougy doesn’t always come across as cute as he is in real life in his photos, so I was especially pleased with this result!
As you well know, it’s not always the case! I think I took something like 31 photos that day of Dougy, and the one I posted was just about the only one worth posting. The ones I posted the next day were from the same 31 photos, I think, but they are more ordinary.
LMAO, I have have files with 200 shots in them them and only one was worth using, but only with heavy retouching. 😀

I periodically go through my files to remove such stuff, but I sometimes end up Photoshopping the hell out of something till I have something I actually like! I’m glad I have digital files now. In the bad old days of film cameras (I had some professional-level equipment, too — Nikons), I was reluctant to waste a shot or take chances on exposure. Now, with my little point-and-shoot Nikon, I get photos pretty much equal to what I got with more exotic camera gear 40 years ago. Love it!

LOL all hail digital cameras! A true blessing! 🙂

I’d never go back to film cameras, though I’m sure they must have some benefits.
Loading...
There are those that speak about texture and feel and to an extent I agree, but it’s just not practical and too expensive.
Loading...
I admit there are things possible with film. As a matter of creativity, though, ?I think a person can create effects with digital that suggest film effects. Playing with the technology and things like Photoshop, you to discover things you like.

I agree totally. My collection of Nikon film cameras sit with pride on my book case. But shall remain in dignified retirement.
Loading...
Exactly! They served me well in the 1970s-1980s, and still are super pieces of technology, but they aren’t digital.
Loading...
Quite true. 🙂

Also, they were heavy as heck, something my little point-and-shoot isn’t. Being able to make videos with a “still” camera, too, is a nice business since it eliminates carrying cameras for one purpose only around.

One of my cameras was a Pentax. Great camera but my wrist would get sore from the weight. It was mostly metal. Took great shots thought.
Loading...
Yes, that was a good brand, too! I considered buying that brand instead of Nikon, but (if I remember correctly) Pentax had lenses that screwed in instead of bayonet mount like Nikon.
Loading...
Right! That is my Pentax. My Nikon became my camera of choice when on location. But the Pentax was a perfect portrait camera.
Loading...
Both were more than adequate for most people. I think Canon and Nikon slugged it out for the professional dollars about the time I was buying cameras, but I know a lots of my army buddies had a thing for Pentax.
Loading...
Yes that’s true. The battle still rages between Cannon and Nikon. I’m still with Nikon. 🙂
Loading...
Me, too. When it came time to chose a point-and-shot digital, I had no difficulty choosing a Nikon. I haven’;t been disappointed,m though the first one didn’t survive Louie the ginger cat (23 pounds 12 ounces /10.8k) stepping on the viewing screen! He killed it.
Loading...
Lol. Big cats have a tendency to do that kind of thing. I especially appreciate the lighter weight of Nikon. When taking 1000 shots at a horse show for 10 hours. It can get a bit heavy by the end of the day. 😉
Loading...
Yes, that is a big factor, too, even for my less rigorous photography!
Loading...
LOL, You should come out and help me some time. 🙂
Loading...
That sounds like fun on several counts: I’d be in Canada, I’d be around beautiful horses, and I’d get to meet your clowder of 18!(How often does one get to use that word? Often if you have cat friends!)
Loading...
I congratulate for even knowing the word, let alone being able to use it. 🙂
Loading...
Dang English major…I pick up these little-used words, then have to invent moments to use them. LOL! 😐
Loading...
LOL! Let me if you ever want to use an odd word. I’ll set you up. 😀
Thanks! Of the two brothers, Dougy has the bushier ruff, and, in Persian cats, that ruff makes the cat! I like the way it shades from black inside to light gray on the tips.
Love that face.
Me, too! I was particularly pleased with this photo of Dougy since he usually doesn’t look this cute in photos.
That’s a cute picture, Dougie 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 <3
Thanks! Dougy doesn’t always look so sweet in his photos, but this time he did. I was very pleased with the result!
Fantastic shot! 🙂

It’s definitely one of those magic moments when everything goes right. 🙂

Hi is gorgeous!
Thanks! Of the two brothers, Dougy has the bushier ruff, and, in Persian cats, that ruff makes the cat! I like the way it shades from black inside to light gray on the tips.
Dougy has an eye on you, Doug! 🙂
Not a bad idea…! Ask Andy!
That’s the best cat picture I’ve seen in a very long time, and I’ve seen a lot of cat pictures! OMGosh look at that face!!!
Thanks! It helps if you have a cute kitty. LOL!
He is beyond adorable!!!
I kind of think so, too! Thanks!
He looks diabolical – in a good way.
It part of Dougy’s mystique….
