Description
This is my cat, Michi. And the penalty for interupting the royal backscratching is severe :)
I decided to start with my animals because I have not yet been able to do justice to people (it's harder than I thought!)
I've been poking around with my new Canon 300D EOS for a few weeks now, and I have a basic/functional understanding of PhotoShop-7.0. This is the first "real" camera I've ever owned and I have no formal training so I welcome any and all feedback (the more critical you are, the more I'll learn). Whether it's logistical advice on recording a scene or artistic wisdom of capturing a moment, please tell me your thoughts. My passions lean more toward the surreal, but I think I have to ground myself in the basics first before I can really start experimenting.
No stranger to r'osity, I have been a "lurker" for a couple years (first in the poser galleries and more recently here in photos) and I've seen that it is a great resource of both learning and role-models. I hope to grow a lot, and share my progress here. I look forward to hearing others' thoughts
Thanks & Enjoy!

a beautiful cat and capture. how ever it needs to be resized for the web. if you are shooting at a full 8 pixels then you can reduce it to 25 % and it usually works very well but sometimes it must be less. I am using Canon rebel xt. I just checked it and it is 2.62 pixels and 39% would make it perfect

Very nice portrait that captures the inner depths of a cat's feelings. This silver tabby reminds me of my "KC". I invite you to visit my gallery for a cross section of possibilities for you to pursue. Always keep your eyes open for the unusual, and your camera close at hand,(with the batteries charged) and don't be afraid to experiment. Remember my favorite expression: "look until you see!".
