my how time flies when you are having fun! and boy am i having a good time! i'd like to take this opportunity and post something that is truly what it all boils down to in my life (apart from leia of course) and that is the pets. introducing rolf. i had a chance to shoot this neighborhood kitty back home in oslo norway in march. he is quite a charmer. he oozes with sweetness and confidence. boy does he rule 'idrettsvn'!! (am i right mom?) he is the king of all who is cat in the hood. something i would have done differently and that is my settings. here's the deal. minimum shutter speed must be 1/320-1/500. whenever it is overcast outside iso must be at 400-800. these shots were at iso 200. 1/250. f2.8 (perfect) and focal length for wide angle effect 14mm. i could have doubled the amount of light and increased the speed 2 times if only i had thought clearly!! oh well, it is what it is and i am satisfied with thase shots. next time! my personal fave is the final shot of rolf giving us the tongue. he's like: whatever-i am soo done with this primpy girly stuff-see ya. am i right or what! oh and he does not prefer to be held. he is loving but not a holding kinda cat-maybe his owners have a different relationship with him, but can't you just see the look in his eyes and his paws pushing away from us stinky humans. we are just ghastly to him! he seems to tolerate it. but that is it! thanks again mom for allowing me to shoot this precious of a cat rolf! and thanks to the andersen family for introducing rolf to us. he was a blast!!!
