Cat, 1st Siggy Zoom image

[Paul]

No birds to snap in the garden - the only ones are sparrows in the front garden and I can't get out there in a hiding place.

 

So I took a shot of my cat, Tipsy, taken at the 313mm, at ISO 800 on the 70D, which meant a touch of noise reduction was used.

 

All big zooms tend to be a bit soft at the top end of the range, but this wasn't too bad, after I had set the micro-adjustment at +5.

I love the way this is taken with him/her looking back over his/her shoulder.

[Paul]

More by chance than design really. He just sat there so the sparrows wouldn't come...

Thanks Kate.

I love the simplicity of the composition - really shows Tipsy at his best. I can't see any softness there.

[Paul]

Cheers Chris.

 

I need the opportunity to try the lens on some decent birding at the long end to see the sharpness, and that may require some further micro-adjustment to nail it around 500mm.

Me too!

It's a gorgeous picture and gorgeous cat.

He is schizoid Tina.

 

We can tickle his ears for 10 seconds and he rattles like chains on scrooge, then he turns and lashes out or bites like a shark on steroids!

That sounds like the half ferral cat that we had for 15 years.

Have you checked his ears?

He may have an ear infection?..........Just a thought.

Nowt wrong with his ears. It's his vicious tendencies right from when we got him. I reckon he may have been badly handled as a kitten before we collected him.

Nice one, Paul - stands out beautifully against the light coloured background. I like the 'over the shoulder look' too.

[Paul]

Thanks Dee, one of his casual moments, lol...
