Cat pictures!

[feppe]

The prosecution presents exhibit A:

The name of the site is The Luminous Landscape, but if you spend any time here at all you'll discover that it concerns itself with every aspect of photography, both esthetic and technical.
[...]
The only restriction is that pictures of cats are not allowed. Cat photographers are respectfully redirected to DPReview.  

(latter emphasis mine)

Followed by exhibit B, a recent photograph by Mr Reichmann:



I know you want it. I know you need it! And you shall get it; my humble contribution below. Please note weird composition, improper use of wide angle zoom, blown highlights, incorrect focus, and bemused subject - all staples of proper cat photography.

I'm so going to burn in hell...

Is that a cat photo? Seems to me like a study in red, blue, yellow and grey   .

[ErikKaffehr]

Yes!

Hurray!

Sorry! Erik. Not a patch on Michael's shot. Yours is just a cat. (Are we still friends?   ).

I knew someone would latch onto this sooner or later.

The rule is that everyone is allowed one cat picture a year, and it can't be their own.

More than that and your Forum account here will be suspended, but you'll be given a complimentary account on DPreview so you can feed your habit.

Busted!  : )

My favorite cat photo:



Does that mean I'm going to Hell, too, or just that I'm single-handedly (at least most of the time) responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of cute little fuzzies?

The next time I post anything I am going to think it over very, very carefully. Look at what I have wrought with a thread that started with a question on the appropriateness of nudity. Naked ladies, not naked cats.

I am SO SORRY.

No worries, Robert. As long as you appreciate my nudes against the Himalayan dawn, that's fine by me. Don't trouble yourself over this.

If it's one cat a year then I'm going to cheat and show an image from 2009 and 2010!    



Cat & the Cymbals, Old City Jerusalem 2009



Abuhav Mist, Old City Safed 2010


Admittedly the cat in the 2nd image is almost impossible to see in an image this size, it's perched above that short wall on the left hand side, underneath the 2nd street lamp and watching those birds on the street in the distance.
