Wonder cat.
Zoe, the wonder cat, photographed yesterday. Zoe is 18 years old making her the equivalent of 88 in human terms according to the Purina cat age calculator on the internet. She may look like a kitten but she's great grandmother age. She lost an eye 6 years ago and now she has diabetes but she’s still going strong. Because of the diabetes she eats loads of food and drinks loads of water. She is too old to put on insulin. She is a real trooper. As one of my granddaughters said yesterday "Awwww she's adorable!"
Photo taken with my Leica X Vario-a camera very much unloved by people who have probably never even seen one yet alone used one. In fact the X Vario is a wonderful camera with a fantastic lens and because it has an clip on electronic viewfinder which can be swivelled through 90ยบ it is ideal for photographing cats at cat eye level.
This photo was taken as a DNG ( RAW ) file at ISO 1000 and I "massaged" it in Lightroom to handle the very contrasty light and shade and to get the detail in her very dark face. I used autofocus and focussed on her whiskers.
