Back in Texas!

I finally got back from Ireland and I'm loving the sun. Took some pics of the garden out back with a very manly stray cat tagging along behind me:

Very nice Keith,

I really like the cat and ceramic rabbit pic :thumb :thumb

Looks like you were shooting in harsh mid-day light. It's very tough to get all the scene's dynamic range into a digital shot under this type of lighting. Hence it makes for tough exposures. Your 3rd and 4th shot illustrate this point. The last one is on the edge expose-wise, but I would have over exposed it more by adding a bit of positive EV compensation (maybe +1/3 - +2/3) to bring out that kewl cat's eyes.


Still, good work under tough conditions :clap

Thanks for sharing,
Steve
