Terrific and beautifully composed shadow image, Donna!!! #3287852Donna La Mattino Pagakis September 09, 2006
Thank you Julie, Susan, David, Phil, Lynne, Nadya, Paul, Donald, Colleen, Bill, Adilson and Melissa very much for your encouraging comments!!This was captured yesterday, 9-8-06 in one of my dining room windows. I tacked up a maroon color blanket to block the glare from the window. The sun is very bright in the late afternoon. I leave the window open and sometimes I get a visitor. My cat 'Shadow' is the subject in this image. I stopped down the camera by 1 F stop because the light was so bright. I took the image without a flash. F2.8 @ 1/40 second, ISO 100. I will enclose another of my little guy. He stuck the pose by himself, quite by surprise!!!
Thanks again to all of you and enjoy your weekend!!!! #3287920
