Great focus and DOF Denise, I think I'd like to play poker with Sammy, his face lights up when he is happy.

Thanks, Steve! Just took Sammy to the vet this a.m. ...no second surgery on his bladder is needed as originally thought!! We are both grinning from ear to ear today :)
Great news for Sammy, you and the bank balance.
Miss Cal again.

Cute cats. Here are ours fighting (playing) in the garden this morning. Black cats do pose a dynamic range problem...

Great cat shots, I'll break the flow and add, my svelte athletic whippet Bindi, who is seen here striking a pose after being forced to go swimming again.

Thanks for viewing.
Tail between the legs... I thought dogs were meant to like swimming?? :p
I really like this shot. Did you do anything in PP to bring out the black?Quote:

I then opened the image as a smart object (hold Alt in Adobe camera raw), made a copy via smart object, then re-opened the copy in camera raw and adjusted it the way I wanted it. I rasterized both layers and then used a mask to lightly brush shadow detail into the black cat.Quote:

Especially right next to white fur, in the bright sun!Quote:

Miss Cal.
I've been testing the ISO performance of my new 7D. I'm happy with it. This is 3200 ISO. Just a smidge of NR in Adobe Camera RAW.

My Lucky Charm by Denise Trocio, on Flickr
Nice shot Dave.
Lucky is posing better than most people, great shot Denise.
He's usually not this cooperative! I think he just trying to figure out how to get ahold of the new Rogue FlashBender reflector I have on my flash so he can eat it!Quote:

Great shot Denise, love the colours. It's hard to get a nice side on shot, my dogs always think I'm sneaking up on them for some devious meaning.
Congrats on the lens it looks very good.
Thank you both very much.
Denise, great picture of Buddy. I like the colors.
Dave
Great shots everyone, animals can be difficult to shoot but you did a good job capturing them.
Our cat is an indoor cat, but I wanted to see how she'd react and thought that the leaves would be a great setting for a photo:

During the resize process from imageshack, the color was cut out a bit. I use the EF 50 1.8 II for this shot.

Wow, Thats a big cat, DeniseQuote:

Nice shots James, I like the bokeh lights in the second.
Cat? Well, he has so many breeds in him, I wouldn't be surprised if cat is mixed in there somewhere!Quote:

Thanks Steve.
He is indeed very brave if we are at home ;-)
Finally, the white stuff is mostly gone, and we have some grass to play on.

Great contirbutions Dave's, cats and dogs.
Here is a shot of Leroy Brown the Italian Greyhound, an elegant, timid shy breed, very similar to me actually.
