...and another with my new Nikon.

DUDE!!! Please tell me I can have that in 1920x1080. I would love that as a Wallpaper.

Sure, but the aspect ratio doesn’t match so it may look a bit distorted at 1920x1080. You can download my wallpaper version at http://webzoom.freewebs.com/takoyakida/freebies/wet-leaf-wallpaper.jpg

Thank you SO MUCH!! I’ll see if I can get it if I run it through PS. I might need to crop it a little, That does not matter. THIS IS ART!!! You have a great EYE for this stuff. I hope to “all get out/Powers that be” you are paid for this talent, if not now, then I so hope you are discovered VERY soon.
.
Edit: I just set it to Win 7 Defaults and it looks GREAT!! Thank You again.

That leaf sir.. is effing awesome. Nice DOF, and managed to get some rough bokeh circles towards the lower left of the leaf.

And so begins Tako’s journey with his new Nikon.
Actually, I think it looks a bit Fujifilm with those colours!

@Jaderail: Thank you for the encouragement. I think the main thing holding me back is my allergy to people, since it becomes hard to get discovered when I hide in my cave all day. I’m glad the wallpaper worked out!

@Vaskania: Glad you like it. I had a little help from my friend PS but the rain did make for a good opportunity to photograph something more interesting than normal.

@pumeco: Now if only I could get myself to start traveling around the state to increase the variety of subject matter.

With nothing else to do tonight, I had a photo shoot with the cat.

...

The cat!!!!.........................what terrific photographs, well done my friend, most excellent.

Heheh, well if only I could advance beyond the bedroom and garden that would be something.
I was in pretty much the same situation as you the other day, bored senseless!

I found myself just grabbing the camera and snapping for the sake of it, walking around in circles generally teasing the dog and annoying my sister who was hoping to sunbathe in peace.  Ended up with a pic of the garden and the dog sat on my sisters knee, that’s it.  Of course I’d much rather be photographing some beautiful women in sensual poses.

Still, just as well I can’t afford the fees, otherwise I’d probably just freeze!

I like your cat pictures.  Maybe if you can take enough of them you can make cat textures.

Maybe Playboy would hire you.

I’d apply but I would probably faint too much to get hired. I’m sensitive like that. :(

Thanks Miss B.

I thought about doing cat textures, I suppose I could try but I don’t know what the market is like for them. Plus I have no idea how to get the photos into properly-sized textures that wrap around the figure.

Thanks buddy.

Those cat photos are great. I can already see a difference between your previous cam and the Nikon. Your cat’s green eyes provide some really good contrast in the ‘portrait’ shot.
