Cheshire Cat

[ziparumpazoo]

Curious cat is curious:




I've gotten out of the habit of using the DSLR since I got the iPhone 4s because the picture quality for simple shots is almost as good. But the DSLR still gives me the excuse to just go and play. A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to that surreal glowing fog at sunrise and slipped out for a walkhobble through town:


Unfortunately I wasn't moving fast enough to get clear of the lines and poles before the sun got too high and burned off the fog.



Amazing the difference a couple weeks makes - not fog this time, but grass fires over the Easter weekend:



While trying to catch said Cheshire Cat, I managed to pick off a few more stray reflections by turning off the auto-focus feature and switching to B&W mode. Rotated this one 90 degrees, which gave it a whole different, kind of surreal look:

That first shot is so fabulous!

And mmh, good cameras...

Thank you. I'm kind of surprised to get that much expression on his face because the little bugger, as sweet and full of personality as he is, would not stay still long enough to cooperate. The clicking of the shutter was far too fascinating for him.

And mmh, good cameras...

Good lens is more the case. The camera is nothing fancy - just a consumer-grade Canon DSLR, but it does everything I need it to do, and if it can't, it forces me to get creative. :)

Totally an ambush, but would you be able to beta, ahem, a certain fic of mine on relatively short notice? You know how I am; will as ever want to throw it out there as fast as possible, before yet more jossing occurrs...

[ziparumpazoo]

I could beta, but it won't be speedy this week - too much on my plate this short week after being out of town for the weekend, and I don't want to make you wait for it. :(

If that still works or you're stuck, send and I'll do my best.

Ah, right, you didn't forget Easter, like yours truly. To my defence, I had a good reason.

Gotcha, thanks! :)

[ziparumpazoo]

Yeah, sounds like my weekend was a lot better than yours. Except for the part with no Fringe and no internet all weekend! ;)

[monanotlisa]

No internet, as I found out recently, can be quite okay...ish. ;)

As long as the company is good and there's lots to do, I can survive... but man, playing catchup now.... ;)
