My pussy cat collection...all captive. My pictures, but not my cats...

This image is under special contract, so I cannot reproduce it at a larger size or a different aspect ratio.

Great shots Bill. Have you got more on a website or flickr?


We are nearly quarter of the way to 1000 posts.
Thanks.

I used to. Very sad story behind that. It ended up with the loss of some 1,500 nature images. About 500 I had scanned from slides and about 1000 more that were taken digitally. There was 2 copies of these images, but both were lost in seperate incidents over a space of a few weeks. I still have the slides that were scanned, but the digital source images are gone. Along with all the images taken from 3 years of covering off-road motorcycle racing for several magzines. I get depressed every time I think of it and sort of gave up the activity at that point.

I was in the process of maikng a new site at the time. What remains of it is at onebytecpu.com. It's been that way for nearly 2 years (or maybe more) now. The galleries are all lost....

I guess I could re-scan some of my slides (I have about 5,000 of them), but all the other stuff is gone.:mad:

Hey,Happyga'l, if we get to 250, how about a face shot just showing eyes and top of head. I mean, we need some encouragement.

If you like raccoons, how many would you like? They will be DOA, of course. It is the biggest disadvantage of living in the woods in a log home.

WOW. Thats some nice pentax gear.

I had free reign on Nikon and Canon gear.

I had an F5 with an 80-200 f2.8 tripod mount telephoto nikkor, a 300mm f1.4 pod-mount nikkor, 18-35mm f3.5 fish(ish) eye. 50mm f1.4, 28-80mm f3.5 - 5.6mm nikkor
and a 28-200 f3.5 - 5.6mm Sigma.

Nice gear. That F5 was a sweet piece of gear.

Throw a digital back on her and you were set.

8 auto-focused frames a second, on film setting stamping...

I would shoot Velvia (iso50 E6 positive)

It was this GREAT over saturated slide film.. I really liked it. Made greens and blues POP.. super amazing.

Working at a photo lab, my processing (and film) was free, so I would shoot at least a roll a day.

Just walking through or around the outside of the mall I worked in during lunch time.

For the fun of it, I would use a 300mm macro lens and stack micro filters on the end and take SUPER closeups of zits, and eye iris's.. teeth.. carpet.. a nail, screw threads... just everything.

Very upsetting to lose your photos, especially when they are as good as yours. I've got Pentax too, but I went digital. The quality isn't as good but for me the convenience made it worth it.
That 600mm lens must be a pain to lug around.
I tend to carry the DSLR, a 19mm Vivitar, a 50mm F1.4, a 135mm, 200mm, 500mm mirror lens, extension tubes and a very old M42 50mm on a bellows.
