Nice. Looks like a sharp, well exposed image to me.

Good job.

What camera did you use?

Thanks for that, a touch of fill flash hepled too. A Canon Powersot G6 was the tool i used here. i use to be a print film addict........but no longer. I also touched it up a bit using PSCS2, levels and unsharp mask but no too much.

This is a slightley cropped down version, such a friendly little dog he is too.

Can you clarify on fill in flash.. did you power down the flash ? i e -1/3 etc.. or did you just let the camera specify.

Gosh, those are mighty nice shots. Way to go!

I really loved the photos, they have a SLR quality good job !

Did you use gausan blur or you cropped the photo to achieve blurry background on the cat?

Fill in flash...did you just let it choose on auto or manually?

Thank you for sharing the photos again...

Best regards,
Artan.

Hey thanks for all that RAW your too kind.......Yes i did use the gausan blur, no i did'nt do anything to the background to make it blur, it's the f-stop whish was set at f4.5 and the fill flash was auto. When i first started using the G6 i got all sorts of shots. I have it set to ISO 50, AV and WB set to daylight, these are set and used for most of my shots. I hope soon to get some lens ad-ons so i can use my old 67mm circular polar from my old equipment? Now there is something i have not seen people talking about filters for B+W shots, i have ahd ago at this by holding it in font of the lens, theey were ok but it was set on auto where the auto-exposure resets to compensate so i will set it to manual to get a better effect like you see it in most B+W shots where the sky is near black and the clouds are so fluffy.

I hope i have answerd your quistions and given you something else to think about. Comments on the other stuff would great.

I just let the Camera do what it had to do, i intend to practice alot with little gem. I've been asked to do a wedding in July and i will be using the G6 but i will have a 35mm cam as stand-by, as it's most advisable to two cams?

A week earlier and that cat could have been in the Body Language challenge. Really nice shot.
