Because I love cats, and Rosie loves cats, I take many cat photos. Most are just 'happy snaps' but from time to time I take one which is special.
My beautiful Marvel was very pretty and photogenic and I have quite a few great photos of her which remind me of what a very special cat she was.
Last weekend I visited my daughter and family. They are also cat people and have two rescue cats.
When I visit my children/grandchildren I always take a camera but rarely come away with any worthwhile photos- of people or cats. Often, I don't even manage to take one photo. However the latest visit was different. I took a beautiful photo of Myles, one of their cats.
To me this photo really captures the character of Myles, who is very friendly and affectionate. It was taken with my Q3 43 and is probably the first photo I have taken with the new camera where I've thought "wow that lens really is special". It's not the sharpness which is outstanding, which you would expect, it's the total rendering and the gentle transition from pin sharp to out of focus. The fact that the light was just right also helped.
The photo is a crop from a DNG(Raw)- file shot at 1/80th f2.8. ISO 640. It is best viewed on a desktop or laptop computer or a tablet.Viewing it on a phone does not do it justice.
