Cat sat on my lap in the living room whilst I'm testing the new toy. What can you expect but another shot of my pet subject (pardon the pun :D). I've had to crop the original tightly to avoid a distracting background and my portly belly - yes, ok, shall we just say that I've probably been overdoing the biscuits :-) Anyways - the picture has been cropped and then run through Lightroom to clean up what teensy bit of noise there was. Just look at the ISO! I couldn't get this shot with any of my other gear. Great stuff! (And no, I don't know why I had nearly two thirds exposure compensation on - just trying to make life harder I guess.)

This 3 inch dragonfly turned up in our garden and by stealth managed to get this close up of it. Only once before had I caught a glimpse of such a large dragonfly.

Deer on heed - not fleeing yet but... Saw it on a clearance - alas it was out of reach for the kit lens. please excuse the limited capture; I needed to play with the challenge comments...

wanna hear my roar? MIAUWW..
