flyEX #1 flyEX #1 Man in the Box Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/05/00 Posts: 26631 Loc: Down in a Hole	Heh, kinda does look like a bigger version of Scuzzlebutt. Not bad, just try to catch cats off guard or asleep so you can get a few good shots before it gets tired of the camera and runs away. An easy trick is putting their bed / fort in a good composition then just wait for the shot. And replying to Kevin (I think) from a week or two ago. I'm waiting for the g/f to get here to do Christmas, so I haven't opened the 2X III extender yet. I will definitely be trying it out and there will be a full moon next week if the skies aren't cloudy. I will post pics soon. Edited by flyEX #1 (12/20/12 10:34 PM)

I like this pic better, but try to focus on the eyes next time. It will give you a better, more balanced image. Just a suggestion, but try dialing the flash power down to 1/8 or 1/16 and bump it up or down depending on your results. Aiming the flash for the best bounce is equally important. The slightest difference can add or take away contrast, change the direction of light, all giving you much different or dramatic results. A globe or other type of flash hood diffuser can give you better results without much effort, but don't totally rely on them. Then there's taking the flash off camera...

240sx805 240sx805 Post Master Supreme Registered: 12/11/01 Posts: 61595 Loc: CA	The flash was pointed up 45 degrees so it wasn't a direct hit. I still need to read how to use it, I have no idea on the power and settings. I just turned it on and went nuts. And getting the correct focus is a pain with her, because she thinks there is a toy or something she needs to do when I get her attention. So she lays down and jumps back up and lays down again trying to get whatever reward she thinks there is. Edited by 240sx805 (12/22/12 02:00 PM)

Yeah, I was just fucking around experimenting... if I had been paying more attention I would've been more careful about that. I also wouldn't have had that shit on the mantle next to her. Bill, I'm sure it was aperture priority... IIRC it was right after I got my nifty 50 and I was testing the limits of it. IIRC it was evening time so not a whole lot of light going on. _________________________ "On the street where there is no lap timer, feel is all that matters" - scootergeek "A bunch of nerdy douchebags chasing a ghost." -Ob1 on bitcoin

LNXGUY LNXGUY Tougher than Logan Roy Post Master Supreme Registered: 08/06/00 Posts: 107790 Loc: Barrie, Ont,	I actually don't mind your reflection in the mirror, I think it's kinda cool. It also looks like your AF picked up the frame instead of the cat (she/he is a little soft). This is when you can set the camera to use a specific AF point so your subject stays in focus and you can frame the shot like you want. _________________________ -Bill The GN would OWN you, your children and your children's children.

Huggy Huggy Post Master Supreme Registered: 11/01/99 Posts: 42993 Loc: Cincinnati, OH	Here's what I see: 1. Cat out of focus. 2. unbalanced light. darken up the background on the left side of the photo to balance it (or pull a Scott and give it some vignette ~ which as Scott has shown me is totally cool). 3. Everything feels like it is leaning to the right. _________________________ Kevin - Owner and Driver of Cars -

flyEX #1 flyEX #1 Man in the Box Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/05/00 Posts: 26631 Loc: Down in a Hole	What everyone else has said... and maybe straighten out the mirror / hearth horizontal line. Use Tungsten or custom white balance, spot-focus on the cat's eyes, and turn on more lights if possible to even out lighting or invest in a flash. OCD kicking in I know that 50mm 1.8 lens can be slow to focus sometimes and the noise it makes can be good or bad, depending on your cat's reaction. Quick and dirty edit in LR3 to change the WB a little, etc:

It is a very cool / distinguished looking kittah. Nice capture of it too. Scott can explain the yellow better than I can as he has some fancy book learnin'. I just set the WB or fix the WB in post to make my eyes happy. Happens like clockwork when using low watt lamps & longer exposures to provide light to the sensor indoors. Just took a snapshot of my cat while he was sitting next to the 2X III adapter I finally tried out today on my 70-200 2.8 II on 60D body. Something like 640mm with the additional 1.6X crop factor. Haven't tried it on 5D2 yet. Too cloudy / foggy to see across the field in backyard today. Edited by flyEX #1 (12/25/12 11:24 PM) Edit Reason: added pic of 2X III
