Posted by eydryan (Bucharest, Romania) on 7 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
A little cat, shot with the 300mm and a +1 macro filter (more is OOF) outside in daylight at ISO100 (or 400 can't remember).
Edited a lot, had 9 edit versions to it, chose this one... Hard choice. Used two versions of the RAW file layered one on top of the other, blended the highlights from one into the other and used photo filters and curves to play with it.
Kind of a quick post since I have to leave town at 6AM tomorrow and I'm driving...

@zoloper: thank you my furry little friend :D with the 300 DOF is assured, the rest is getting a nice sharp image. and believe me, luck had nothing to do with it... i tried different shutter speeds and techniques to get to eye level and close enough for the lens to focus with the filter... it wasn't as easy as it seems...
Nice one, so sweet!

nice shot, from my experience taking photos of cats is not easy, they move too much :-)
