6. Okay, I buy the kitten thing

but, explain cats?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Well, if God made kittens, maybe he also gave them free will

which might explain why some of them grow up to be somewhat less than angelic.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

8. so free will makes them poorly behaved?

seems like the law of averages would make it so there would be an equal number of well-behaved ones, no?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. "Poorly behaved" is such a value judgment. In a cat's world,

scratching the furniture and horking up hairballs and stealing your socks isn't behaving poorly. It's just doing cat stuff.

10. As the poem goes,

"The worst thing about a kitten is that
it will someday become a cat."

11. that's a gorgeous shot

Did that lighting just happen? It's pretty much perfect. I totally love this picture, the lighting, the carpet, the kitty. Action shots like this are so hard to get.

:toast:

12. Thank you, and Um, no...I took over 100 shots

with various exposures to get that one.

Lighting rarely "happens" with me. If you see a shot which has been lit, you can bet I spent a lot of time to get it that way.

[DeepBlueC]

13. I meant was that natural light or did you have another light source?

It all comes together beautifully.

14. Oh, flash

two of them, one with what we call a snoot and grid, the other diffused.
