We're pretty lucky to have a couple of handsome house cats for impromptu shoots in this place, with Bruno definitely being the more challenging in that he's perpetually in motion, and of course completely, wonderfully, silkily black. Even the 5D Mk II has a hard time working out what the heck I'm trying to get it to focus on when he's the target. So good ol'-fashion manual focusing and a wide open aperture usually do the trick. I hadn't grabbed a good picture of the tyke for a while so I used the happy convergence of subject (perched on a couch-bound Sylvie) and camera (handy from snapping snow-capped peaks earlier) to remedy that deficit.
So here he is, about five months of age and getting perkier and more confident each day. Remarkably, the Sassmonster has a ball wrestling and racing him, and both set new records for cuteness each time they curl on or around the napping Sylv's head. That shot to come.
