Patches the indoor feral

Uploaded: August 25, 2013

Description

This is the first capture I have been able to make of Patches in years who is our indoor feral. She will not let you come close to her and rarely is in same room with us. Lately she has slept in the den on the couch so early this morning I had the SX50 HS ready at ISO 1600, F/5.6 and 330 mm focal length, no flash flipped on the overhead light and got this one capture at 1/8th sec handheld before she ran away and hid. She is such a beautiful cat I wish she would let me photograph and pet her but this was a rare chance. Got it. I am still amazed at this cheap but capable camera.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/8 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 66.59 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot SX50 HS

Like the eyes, tones, pose & expression, Emile. Our cat was a bit like that.
