samsung sl202

today was taffi's day to shine. taffi is my cat i adopted in 1993. she was about a year old then so that makes her about 18-ish. possibly 60-70 kitty years. she's pissed at me for sentencing her to the dungeon. i don't appreciate cat pee on my stuff. this has been her permanent home for about 5 years. but i visit every day to play and feed and i know she feels this is her safe zone. her roommate is spooky the black kitty we adopted. he is no. 1. they tolerate each other and at times i see them cuddling and spooning together-maybe for warmth but i know they care about each other. anyway-she moved every second-literally. and about a 1/2 hour into it she mellowed out, jumped up on the stool where a rug was crumpled on and chilled. she checked out the birdies outside and was pretty content. you know she misses me. warm ups for bonding are necessary. i like the close ups-especially of the eye and the swirly whiskers. i tested out the happysnap samsung sl202. this is a great camera for everyday quick shots. set on smart mode, iso 100 worked well with north natural light coming in from the left. aperture is at f2.8-again ideal for the conditions. basement light is dark and dingy and this camera sucks big time using high iso such as 800. the noise is ridiculous! did i mention a select random shots were corrupt? yes, perhaps it's the memory card-idk-and when i attempted to correct images in iphoto-i mean basic fixing such as exposure or sharpening-it wouldn't allow it. corrupt card and this is a reminder never to use this camera for anything valuable. just shoot a lot of shots. digital is cheap.
