Sleepy Cat

July 10, 2019 Dennis

I don’t have much time anymore because I meet a friend in voice chat the next minutes, but I wanted to push the photo above out to my blog. I tried to get a close-up photo of my cat with the 40mm macro lens I am using. The paw turned out to be a bit too distracting in the photo, and I hoped the paw would be less blatant. When I saw Shyna sleepy and surrounding her eye with her paw, I thought this would be a nice photo. I like how it is framed, but I really hoped there … Continue reading Sleepy Cat

The image above was edited to the point that it doesn’t have a lot in common anymore with the original. When I saw the image in my library, I was pretty unhappy and almost wanted to delete it because the colors were dull. As I often preach on my blog, I like to find out what I can do with images that are not of best quality. This can be about all kind of problems, like overblown highlights, dull colors, bad cropping and what not. If you have nothing to lose, you can try all kind of tricks and effects … Continue reading Kitty Villain

Good Night

September 10, 2018September 10, 2018 Dennis

Tired cats do always find a place to sleep. I thought I show you a photo of my cat Shyna again. I pretty much liked the colored version, but in black and white it worked even better. I decided to convert the photo to black and white because due to the closed red curtain in my living room, there was a heavy reddish tone in the photo. It was not too bad, but black and white definitely worked better here in my opinion. That’s usually how I edit photos, I look at the pros and cons, and then I make … Continue reading Good Night

Comfortable Living

Above is a snapshot of my cat Shyna that I took yesterday with my Samsung Galaxy tablet. We both were relaxing on the couch and I watched YouTube videos on my TV while Shyna was slowly falling asleep. Here is a question for those with cats. Have you noticed this too? Does the purring sound make you very relaxed and sometimes very tired too? If I listen long enough to the purring of Shyna, I fall asleep too. I believe there is something about this frequency that makes me very tired. Have you noticed the same too? Continue reading Comfortable Living

Black And White Cat

July 12, 2018July 12, 2018 Dennis

Above is a photo of my cat Shyna again. The original image had a couple of issues, and I disliked the colors in the photo. That’s when I often try out black and white filters. In this case it’s a mix of black and white, and a tiny bit of serpia. She does look a bit grumpy in the photo, does she? I can’t remember, but maybe she was tired or I shot so many photos that she found it annoying (laugh). Continue reading Black And White Cat
