Princess Fuzzy Butt

Ria gave our "other cat" this name and it is apt for this feline. "Princess Fuzzy Butt" sleeps, eats, wants attention, then does it all again, a true creature of comfort, if ever there was one. While able to catch other critters in the yard, she practices a "catch and release" program in the house with them and watches until it is nap time again.

250 watt umbrella, old funky wood shutter (front mounted, borrowed, but it worked), sleepy model.

This is the first image taken with my new "Area 51" Petzval lens (recently from Jim Galli, thanks Jim) and it certainly delivers the goods with respect to plenty of bokeh. It is uncoated, so development will have to be increased somewhat, but I like what I got for a first image attempt. Had to print at grade 3 on this one and could have used still more contrast, but it worked well enough. Comments always welcome. tim

Tim,
Don't you know the 3rd commandment? Thou shalt not photograph thy dog ,nor thy cat, nor thy ass. (Some dispensation may be got for photographing thy neighbor's ass, we'd have to see it first though.)

Very nice work Tim, really nice. Did the blanket come from Nogales?

Mike, this petzval is going to be fun to use, once I get a shutter on it. The blanket is just a throw cloth to keep the cat fur off of things, not from Mexico. It does help to illustrate the curved field of focus a petzval has. Its a bit strange to get used to and I don't want to think about movements with this one.

As to the the commandments, I guess we're just lucky I haven't figured out how to focus a ground glass on my nether regions. Perhaps I should use a mirror and try again? tim
