Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005New pics of Pearl
Two new pics of Pearl http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kchuplis/detail?.dir=6f7c&.dnm=7a89.jpg&.src=p h or http://tinyurl.com/4g5jv Awww, what a beautiful black kitty! Absolutely gorgeous and such a shiny coat! Kerrie > Two new pics of Pearl Aww, she's so pretty. You're really good at taking pictures of black cats. You never get the 'black blob' kind. I suppose it's because you use natural lighting? Very nice pics.

Yeah, but they still aren't like Weeble pics. Of course, it isn't a Canon Rebel either. Just a Canon A60. I still have to figure out how to get clearer pics. If I turn off the flash, the auto focus seems to go too.

If I turn off the flash, the auto focus seems to go too. With my camera (Canon S45), when I turn off the flash in a situation where it would otherwise be used, autofocus is fine, but the exposure time increases due to lower light, which sometimes leads to pictures being blurred by my not-so-steady camera hand. Any chance that's what's getting you when you turn off the flash? Jeff > In <BE57E069.65BC8%kchuplis@alltel.net>, > Karen <kchuplis@alltel.net> shouted to everyone in earshot, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jeff That could be. Unless I go to macro mode I get just a little blur. Hmmm. How to get around this? Definitely with the black cats, I need to get them in natural lighting. But also, is there a way to choose your focal point? I've noticed the focus box, but it is picking an object I don't want.

I've >noticed the focus box, but it is picking an object I don't want. Mine does that, too--AiAF (artifical "intelligence" auto-focus?)--and I hate it. The S45 has a little D-pad on the back (button pad with left/right/up/down arrows), and if I push that straight in (no direction), I can then press any direction to toggle between that AiAF nonsense (indicated on the S45 by a large framing square) and a single, small auto-focus square in the center of the frame. Every time I turn the camera on, it's in AiAF mode by default, too, and I always forget about it, and it always screws me if there's anything in the shot less than 3 or 4 feet away. Anyway, I don't know if your A60 has anything comparable, but I hope that helps you out some.

Hmm. I do have the four buttons, kind of like a dpad, but it doesn't do anything to the box. I will have to google and see if there is an answer out there. Gets me thinking in a new direction though!

Again, I'm not too familiar with the A60, but if you have the little wheel or some other mode selector that lets you pick a mode that allows the exposure time to be set manually, you might be able to reduce it a little. Of course, that could leave you with darker pictures (depending on available light), but if you're handy with an image editor, you might be able to do some gamma correction or contrast/brightness adjustment after you download the pictures from the camera. I find I have to do that anyway with most pictures I need the flash for.

That way the camera doesn't jiggle during the longer exposure. If you have a *really* long exposure time, then the best thing is to not even press the button yourself, but set it up on the self timer while the camera is sitting there or on a tripod. That way you get the steadiest pictures and no jiggling blurs. However, your subject has to be sitting very still, so this doesn't work for action shots. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >>> In <BE57E069.65BC8%kchuplis@alltel.net>, >>> Karen <kchuplis@alltel.net> shouted to everyone in earshot, [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > Check out pictures of Vino at: > http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album heh.

Persia likes to sleep with her leg extended, too.

They love it. They will use it without, but I have bunches of those Woolrich berber throws, so I just fold them up and put them on the different beds. They seem to NEED to sit/sleep on berber. Pearl won't lay on the couch unless there is a berbre throw folded up for her to sit on. >>> Two new pics of Pearl http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kchuplis/detail?.dir=6f7c&.dnm=7a89.jpg&.src=p >>> h >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > won't lay on the couch unless there is a berbre throw folded up for > her to sit on. My grandmother would roll over in her grave if she knew first my dog and now my cat insist on sleeping on her knitted afghans! I have one in the closet which is a no-no - packed in plastic. All white, like a wedding dress. The only white one she ever made. Jill >Two new pics of Pearl > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >http://tinyurl.com/4g5jv Thank you. Mmmm, she's lovely.

I like black cats. Kitty FC's first boyfriend was all black, this was when she still lived outside and I would find them meatloafing in the toolshed together quite often, but black boy always ran off when he saw me. The friendship went on for quite a while, maybe all one summer or maybe more. Where Kitty was, black boy would be and vice versa. I don't know what he did, but he must have blotted his copybook. KFC was walking up the path and BB was just behind her when she suddenly spun round and really boxed his ears. Then she turned to continue her walk and he followed again. When she looked back and saw he was still there, she really lost her temper, leapt on him and knocked him off his feet, swearing all the while. Poor lad ran away and they haven't been friends since :-( I still see him sometimes, he isn't a stray and looks well-cared for. There is another all black cat that lives two doors away, this one has a collar and hates gentle Boyfriend. He is known as "the enemy." He's a really pushy cat. Tweed > There is another all black cat that lives two doors away, this one has a > collar and hates gentle Boyfriend. He is known as "the enemy." > He's a really pushy cat. > > Tweed Heh. SOunds like Pearl in a way. Lately, she does NOT like it if I stay up past midnight. SHe comes up on the couch and GLARES at me and will even gently bite me until I go to bed. It's annoying but cute too. >> There is another all black cat that lives two doors away, this one has a >> collar and hates gentle Boyfriend. He is known as "the enemy."

I've not decided yet about when my cats tell me what to do. Part of me wants to indulge them because I love them, and part of me says "Hey, what's going on here?" This is what I've decided as an interim measure. 1. You will stay downstairs in your beds at night and have the option of the out available always for toilet duties or rat patrol. 2. You will not come upstairs and miaow loudly under my bedroom door at 7 a.m. on a Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday. You must wait until 9. 3. Only two meal options will be provided, otherwise you starve. 4. Boyfriend has to stop his new habit of thinking I need him winding round my legs in order to perform on the throne early in the morning. 5. Boyfriend has to stop opening the door from the lounge to the stairs in order that he can zoom up the staircase and watch me in the bathroom any time I go there. 6. Boyfriend needs to stop clawing my sleeve to say he wants something immediately, right now, like some crunchies which I am cutting him down on. 7. Kitty laughs. She say she tell him to be "more crafty dan dat" Tweed > 4.

I mean, that is a cats faaaavorite thing to do. Especially boys. Well, Grant never did the "bolting" thing, but Amigo did. It was his favorite game to bolt past me and try to decide which room I would go into. Of course, good luck in getting any of those habits under control :) >>> There is another all black cat that lives two doors away, this one >>> has a collar and hates gentle Boyfriend.
