I have a 7D (crop sensor), and that picture with the tongue was taken with a 70-200 2.8 IS at 200mm at f/2.8

yeah i don't understand cameras that well :o:

nonetheless it's impressive that they came out that well in natural light with what must have been short exposure times. i figured the aperture and sensor would have to be fairly large in that case.

esp. given how bright the whites are, jebus

i always get better results when i evaluate the white balance in advance for sure. it's just never as vivid as those pictures. then again i'm sure that my camera doesn't cover anywhere near the range of a decent dslr, so

I do a lot more with it than just take cat pictures, although if I could be a professional cat photographer for a living, I would.

Maybe 1 year of instate community college tuition, I guess. Or maybe just a semester some places.

Why yes, my subjects are frequently kittens and ducklings

Should I buy an old Miata to wrench on or a DSLR with set of lenses and learn to capture cattes?
