What happens when you have a new camera, a dark room... (large pics here)

[Rosco T.]

.. and a cat waiting for you to lay down?

Shot in total darkness with a Kodak V530. This is the newest addition to the family.



As best as I can figure, he's a british shorthair/tonkinese mix. We found him wandering around outside, all skin and bones
(looked more like a siamese, but I knew the apple head of a British Shorthaie anywhere, he's put on about 10 pounds (weights
13) since we got him and he's a large teddybear (large purring, grunting teddybear)..

however, I wonder what he was doing when I snapped the picture... here's a closeup on his silly, blue eyed, crossed eyed face...



Check that CRAZY TOUNGE!

Oh, his name is Tonka (as in Tonka TRUCK, which he's built like!)

2. It makes me wonder WHAT that cat was doing.

:D

Great pics!

:hi:

3. He might be kin to my fat cat Boomer:

6. More great photos!! Boomer is a good looking cat! He looks

quite comfortable, too. Talk about a "cat that swallowed the canary" face...Boomer's got it!

[_testify_]

7. He probably swallowed something.

Nothing is safe around him. It's like he's a shark stuck in a cat's body.

4. Great photos! If you ever find out what Tonka was doing, please

let us know!

8. for $180 bucks for a 5mp camera, I won't complain..

those shots are CROPPED and scaled down from full size.. didn't want to overwhelm the thread

9. You got your moneys worth

I think you will be well pleased with it. :D

10. You used a flash though, right?

[Rosco T.]

11. Oh yeah, a flash of course...

the builtin, I was just AMAZED at how good it was with a flash, not burned out or too dark, and even properly focused..

but that TOUNGE!
