Newbie to the forum....pic of my cat

[Seasentinel]

Hi....as the subject says new to the forum. I had been a Nikon user since I started photography in 1987 but switched to Canon last Sept when I bought the 20D. My favorite thing to photograph are seascapes and lighthouses along with one of my cats. Here's a pic of Jubilee. Tell me what you think.

Beautiful cat and a good picture, well done.

Me thinks that Jubilee is a little tired of having that flash pop in his/her face:):):):):):):):):)
Really nice cat image.

Yep, a very nice pic and good flash - it's not overdone. Too bad about the ear getting cropped, though.

nice shot.. you're right down the road from me.. I'm just down 234 in Dumfries.. finally another local user. Good job for straying from the Dark Side and getting a Canon.:)

Nice photo

Thanks for all the kind replies. Jubilee does look a little distained doesnt she? :lol: Yes I also agree on the ears getting cropped out ...my bad. I used a Sigma 50-500mm for that pic which I sold. I am now going to sell my Canon 100-400mm and buy the Sigma again. I thought it was a really great lens and I miss the 50-100 and the 500 on the end.

jmjmmotorsport..... I used to live in Woodbridge until a few months ago. Cool to meet another local also. So by your name are you into cars like my b/f and I are?

Here's another shot I also like of Jubilee :cool:

Oh I love your cat, it reminds me of my childhood cat that I miss so much, when we moved we had to give her away, but luckily she is with a good family now.

Nice Cat shots.
I really like them.
I did some of my 2 Jet Black cats once also..

[jmjmotorsport]

oh yeah, I'm definitely into cars.. I'm into a lot of the local Subaru clubs/gatherings. I used to do pretty much nothing but motorsport/car photography but I'm straying from that these days. I'm finding myself much more intrigued by fashion/portrait/glamour type stuff. I'm a habitual people watcher so I guess it's only natural I start taking an interest in photographing people. Maybe we can have a local Canon meet someday.. My wife is convinced I'm the biggest nerd for talking on the internet all the time about cameras to total strangers.. :D

Cute cat. I like the second picture best.
