Yet more pics (and no baby)

I'm overdue.  No baby.  Say no more.

I've learned more about the camera and shot some RAW shots of Otis and
Chester today and fiddled with them with the image processing software.
Very fun ... and so much yet to learn.

This series is a set of formal portraits, mainly of Otis ... and I must say
he is very cute.  One close up of Chester that isn't magnificent but is I
couldn't leave him out.  Otis has that hang dog look a bit when he's doing
something just to be nice - like when I clean up eye goo and the like.  Sits
still and takes it but doesn't love it.  He's humouring me, as you can see
in the pics.

Again, the full size option looks better than the slideshow option, which
seems to spread the shot over the page.  The shots start here, in Otis and
Chester's EIGHTH album.  Yikes.  http://tinyurl.com/3bqxp7

I know this scenario from a neighbour who was two weeks overdue.  I knew she
needed a big hot curry to bring the birth on, so I made her one. We ate it
together at 7pm.  11 pm she was on her way to hospital, 2 a.m. she had her
little girl,  Try it/ can't hurt.

Chana masala should do the trick!

Well, I've got a plain old organic roast in the oven right now.  Maybe I'll
make a curry soup to start?

Nah, that's no good.  It has to be a main meal curry, preferably vindaloo,
or one as hot as you can tolerate.
Anyway, lots of luck.  I have a feeling I will miss this exciting event, so
have purrs now.

Well, you're right.  The soup didn't work.  Didn't get to making curry
tonight either.  Perhaps we'll be in the hospital on the same day?  I'll
send you purrs too!

Isn't it amazing the detail those cameras capture? I sure don't want
*my* picture taken!

Thank you.  I'm getting several phone calls a day...

It is amazing.  It is also amazing how much there is to learn to do it
properly.  I like it - lots still to discover and I can't wait until I've
saved up for the birding lense and can get can out there to catch some bird
shots.  I tried to do a picture like Tom did on his leaf card but had some
difficulty with the low angle winter light here.  I've still got the RAW
shots though and have found a different RAW processing program so may yet
have some better luck...

At least I've got something to do while I'm waiting :D

He looks like he would be perfect for those talking cat commercials.  
What a handsome cat!   MLB

Thank you - he *does* look like he has something to say doesn't he?  He was
very patient with me - I took about 25 shots and he just sat there stoically
humouring me.  It was really quite funny.

I don't know, Susan, it looks to me like Otis is pretty happy about
being at the centre of attention. Beautiful shots! Purrs that young
master X makes an appearance soon. I don't wonder that he'd rather stay
put than enter this cruel world.
