With all these cat and dog photos I had to add one of my own with my new 50mm prime.

1/80, f1.8, ISO 400

cute cat Iggy!!! I love the way she(he?) is looking up.

and thanks for posting!:thankyou:

Any narrower on that DOF Iggy and that cat would totally blend into the background :)

Hehehe. Yeah, f1.8 at a 2 ft. is a pretty narrow DOF! ;) All about seeing what the new lens can do :D

Hmmm, not crazy about this one Iggy:o
The DOF is too narrow for me here and you missed the focus on the eye (by a hair or two). I'm not seeing a tack sharp eye here and given the size of the eyes in the frame...I want to. The composition here also needs improvement imo. You cut off the cat's face :eek: Hope that helps - Marko

[Iguanasan]

Thanks for the feedback, Marko.

I think there is a definite re-shoot here Iggy...I think the eye could be a tad sharper...really dig the colour though and I agree with MA about the DOF being too narrow. I would also (if it were me) slightly saturate a bit more that eye in post and play with the composition a bit more. Either have more of your beautiful cat out of the shot of more of your cat in the shot....IMO.
I hope that helps :)

your catch lights are great!!

I do like the catchlights as well. Is it a window she is looking at?

[Iguanasan]

She was looking out the window and I was pushed back against the wall next to the window which is why it's so close. Playing with the f1.8 which is why the DOF is so narrow.

Thanks for the comments!

Hmmm... now I'm going to disagree with you TT (and Raiven as well). I think when the eye is this large, this sharp, and this detailed, catchlights are unnecessary, especially ones as big as this. The picture has excellent potential. Looking forward to the re-shoot!

[Iguanasan]

Re-shoot! Got her to sit still for me again today as hard as it is to do so. Slightly more DOF which I think is more pleasing. I kinda like the first one just because I could get it that narrow with my new lens but this is more pleasing I think.

Thanks, and yes, she's sitting in front of a window. Same shooting location as the new one.

This is beautiful Iggy...way to reshoot! :clap:

Very sharp! And beautiful eyes too. I think though that her left eye is just a tiny bit bright. That could just be me but my monitor is set with the brightness quite low.

Thanks. You may be right, I've never calibrated my monitor so it may be off a bit. Most of my shots are too dark because of it, maybe I over-compensated.

[Bambi]

it looks much better. On my monitor her left side looks a bit too bright but the colour on her right is lovely. I am also not sure if the left eye is as sharp as the right? if not you can fix that in post processing.

over all well done!

[Iguanasan]

Thanks, Bambi!

[Marko]

The right eye is slightly bright for me too, but i like this shot MUCH better.
Great lookin' cat!
