Darg...the Kitten

[Barry Keavney]

A couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend got me a kitten! She's great!
My Girlfriend...the Kitten...them both!
I hadn't taken any photo's of her really until today, and I'm quite pleased
Unfortunately, it's not as sharp as it could be due to a slow shutter speed (I came running into the house in A mode at ISO160), but with minimal PP, I'm happy.

I think the softness gives a nice feel to it, all cosy like..........

 

[Pete Askew]

I agree, adds to the dreamy look. Nice shot Barry and B&W is perfect for it.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Were you missing the Grubby action?

Nice shot!!

Long shot, you don't know where my shoot through brollys are do you ... I can't find em anywhere! Jamie doesn't know where they are, said you might have put them somewhere...

 

[Brian Moore]

That's a lovely shot, Barry. (And I don't like cats--a position reinforced only last night when my galloping dog was broadsided quite spectacularly, and unexpectedly I might add, by a cat flying at near supersonic speed.)

I think the softness in the image is purrrfect.

That shot's the cat's meow Barry

How about a 16:9 crop to loose some of the black in the lower section?

 

[Pete Askew]

Damn that man, it works too!!

 

[Barry Keavney]

Cheers guys, and yes Chris, that works a treat!

Brian: Yea...dogs...Don't get me wrong, their alright n' stuff but Jesus they need attention! lol.
My girlfriends sister visited us a couple of months ago and bought herself a great big Husky whilst she was here. After 4 days, the b*****d ate through our nice wooden fence and escaped...No sign of him since.

Hamish: Nah mate, it was all about Soldier! lol
When I was down in Worcester to get my stuff, it was all in your studio. Ian was trying to give me a hand with it and didn't have a clue where things were. I can't be sure whether I seen them or not. The last definite place I saw one was in the "tea-room" on the rack behind the door. My stuff is all over the spare room here still and I've had a look. I found a long cardboard box that looks like it could contain a brollie, but it's actually posters for Revell?! Hope this helps. Let me know if you find 'em.

 

[Hamish Gill]

will do

bought some more now anyway, but would have been nice to find them as spares

Is the cats name to do with a cartoon?

 

[Barry Keavney]

Well I'm glad you picked up on that Hamish, as that was in my mind as I was thinking of a name; I wasn't sure whether it was Rarg, Rawg or what. Under closer scrutiny, I found that for the most part, the Brummie accent tends to leave out the R in some words, So when people here say Darg...it sounds like Dog...or Dawg...which I think is quite nice. lol

 

[Hamish Gill]

Hehe, yeah it's Rarg the animation ...
Wasn't sure whether to mention it or not, but I really wanted to know

 

[Barry Keavney]

lol Yeah, bit of a homage to the cats, "that" Christmas (messy)! i couldn't call her Rarg, because in my accent it just sounds stupid...Rrrrarg...I do sound stupid! lol

Thats one relaxed kitty, very nice shot!
