Yawning Cat, why not?

[Ali]

As I noticed him starting to yawn I grabbed the camera, turned it on, and shot the photo. Yay for R50 autofocus, it did a reasonable job even with the eyes closed. I suspect a little luck was involved.

(And if you want to play numerologist... ISO 800, 28mm, f/2.8, 1/800 sec, taken on 8/28)

One gorgeous feline and a great picture!

Tuxedos are always dressed well, but they also present their exposure challenges …

Yep;


Last week, a little over 12 years, we had to put our Lucy down.

She was quite the little princes.

Sorry to hear that... She looks adorable.

Yes. Now I'm going to have to follow my own black and white cat around with a camera, waiting for him to yawn! He'll probably just pester me for treats, though.

Look at her elegant paws. What a lady. I am so sorry you have lost her. My heart goes out to you.

No yawn, but with her Siamese mix and one half black and one half torty face, Mia can be a tricky exposure. I will try for a yawn too. Goal for the week!

Turns out one of my favorite yawns from years past was taken on 8/26, so 18 years and 2 days before this one.

With the Canon EOS 20D, anyone remember that? Eight megapixels!

Hah, very nice! Looking in the past, found this one taken with 300D:



Buster already passed away a few years ago being 15yo(, 300D is still alive and actively used by my friend.

I used mine extensively for five years, and still have many framed prints on my walls from it. I never sold it, and occasionally fire off one or two shots for old times’ sake. It was a great camera.
