Another shot of my kitty, Sammy. I was working with aperture and shutter speed to see what results I could get and he was the only one still awake. (For some reason, my daughter doesn’t like the flash from my camera waking her up at 1 o’clock in the morning!) I just loved this one – his tongue looked so pink against his gray fur! HAPPY FRIDAY!

Tammy, this is the first photo I came to today and it mad me laugh! It looked like your cat putting a stick of gum in his mouth! Nice shot!

  Tammy, I love the contrasting colors of the pink and the grey! From the thumbnail, I thought it was selective coloring. The texture is also wonderful. Great job!

  Thanks Marcie! I had to use my wide angle lens since he was in my lap. My apeture was 5.6 and my shutter was 1/60. I had it on portrait so it set everything automatically.
