Watching the Cat

West Virginia

Polaroid CU-5. Polaroid 127 mm lens. ND filter. Fujifilm FP 3000B.

Fujifilm stopped making asa 100 black and white pack film. All that is left now is the asa 3000. This can present problems in situations with a lot of light. It's great for dim light but what were they thinking in going with this as their choice for black and white? A lot of people like it better than the 100B because it is more contrasty but it's going to be a challenge outside at noon.

I shot several blown out photos before I remember the camera has a built in ND filter. Uh duh. Still I was on max settings for aperture and shutter speed.

Other elements can be seen here.

Like his "What's that cat up to now" expression;-) A very nice portrait at ASA 3000. V

This is really cute. Interesting that they chose asa 3000 and not something like 200 or 400. Also interesting about the built in ND. Cool photo and a good job on your part! V

This turned out very well, the dark background shows his profile nicely and there seems to be good detail in his sunlit fur. Petie has a very serious expression here. V.

:) In contemplation on how to get to the cat and be able to eat it without it scratching and biting him. :)
