Hot young pussy(cat)! - Part 2

[raptor84]

Some of you may remember Velcro when she was a kitten. Well here she is all grown up now. Still a hyperactive kitty but just a little more sedate. I had the oppertinity to try out a 70-200 f/2.8 (non-IS) courtesy of a fellow canonGrapher as well so most of these shots were taken with this or a 17-40. The weight is cetainly ALOT more than the f/4 that i am used to but the sharpness at 2.8 is definately remarkable.

It was hard to get used to the weight of the 2.8 but the results speak for themselves.


and a 100% crop with sharpnening at 0 (wide open)


"Die ribbon"



"Don't even think about taking this from me"



"KNN you dare disturb me.."

[raptor84]

"I'm busy now, dont disturb me"



Here she is trying to act all serious..



Of course must also try the act-cute face..



Just for the fun of it here is "Velcro - Then and Now" That pic is my own S8R print of her when she was much younger..

[raptor84]

And now some 17-40 shots . All wide open at at 17mm

"This is my good side" (yes I know its a little blown)



100% crop of above pic slight CA but otherwise very sharp and well saturated. You can make out my outline in her pupil...



"You have any food for me?"



Thats all from me. More at this link Thank to lightning for lending me the 70-200 2.8 and 17-40 to test.
