Squeaky the Cat

Uploaded: January 12, 2008

Description


My daughter's cat, Squeaky; a stray little kitty brought home from the shelter. No one could ever guess that this tiny kitten would grow into the large, beautiful furry cat she is today. This is natural side lighting from the living room window on the right. She was resting on a chair in my daughter's dining room and I was being very careful as she spooks fairly easy. I did not have a tripod available at the time and so rested the camera on the back of the sofa that was next to the chair.
Nikon 18-135 mm @ 95 mm. 1/2 sec @ f/5.6

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 10/20 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 95.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80
