One of the stray cats, fussy resident of my friend's garden.

Very nice shot, Julian, inviting us to imagine what she is thinking.

 

[Gianluca Drago]

she

You obviously have a sensitive eye for cats. I too think it's a she.

Too grim for this photograph, but I could not help myself .

Oh yes, she's a she all right

Nietzsche or Pink Floyd, Julian?

imagine what she is thinking

"Did I just see a mouse over there?"

 

[Julian Tanase]

Nietzsche or Pink Floyd, Julian?

Neither. Some lyrics that I remembered from the past, written by me when I was much much younger than I am now.

You are a poet, Julian.

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Morwenna seems to love your picture, Julian.

 

[Julian Tanase]

Morwenna, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Is she of Welsh or Cornish extraction?

Cornish. I was a fan of the Doc Martin series and in one season of the series Martin Clunes had a secretary with that name.

EDIT: the cat is Italian, the name is of Cornish origin.

 

[Julian Tanase]

lovely cat you have !

 

[Gianluca Drago]

lovely cat you have !

Yes, she really is (but now I don't want to wrong Wilber, the elder cat living in this house).

Ah, but I was so much older then - I'm younger than that now.

hilarious

Lovely shot of the cat, Julian. (Your's too, @Gianluca Drago.)

Julian,...why did/do you shoot the Kentmere at 80 instead of its box speed? Thanks.

 

[Julian Tanase]

I noticed that Foma and Kentmere (100 ASA) love a bit more light than others.

 

[Jez Doh]

Lovely tones in the shadows, really adds to the mood. Have you tried other kentmere films besides the 100?

I also use Kentmere 400, in both 35 and 120... still not decided about it. Something is not right with this type of emulsion, but probably it's just me and I need more time to like it.
