Kitties!

This evening I went out photographering with my photo buddy Maxine. Unfortunately it was really grey and boring out, so we were forced indoors to take our photos. These are her two cute cats, Perdita above, and Elim below. The lighting wasn't very good so I had to resort to my 50mm 1.4 set at 1.4 aperture. This meant a very shallow depth of field, and it also meant that it was really hard to focus the camera. But I managed, and came up with these two shots, and I like the soft focus effect that the shallow depth of field adds. As you may be able to tell, Elim is the active character of the two, while Perdita tends to sit around regally. Elim just had to play in the lampshade that we took off for better lighting.
