Tell me you didn't fold up your ladder and walk away leaving them stuck in the tree when you were done.
Very nice shots by the way.

God I envy you lot!! My cats reaction to a camera is best summed up by my avtar.

Scanning is fun
Scanning is fun
Two more cats. This is the Beast (as we called her) at a few months and again at a few years. Leica IIIg or IIIf, 90mm Travenar (?), Plus-X & Tri-X. Focus is off in both, more in the second one (sharper pixels help).
When the Schact Travenar 90/2.8 was relatively new it was really sharp. A poorly machined focus mount caused it to focus too near at distances under 8 feet. At 6 feet it was way off, then it would get better at about 5 feet. It fell apart after 20+ years of use.
The Beast stayed with me for 19½ years before she wore out.

I just compared the original scans (from 8X10 double-weight prints-mid 1970's) and the jpegs and I'm really impressed with what adding contrast and sharpening will do. I'm also wondering why I sold that IIIg and Summicron for $300.00. Maybe I could do with a little sharpening myself.

The kitten shot is too cute, Victor.
Nuno, I love the mystery created by having only one eye fully illuminated. Very fitting mood for cats.
