Fred by soboy5

Fred

Fred is my 11 year old cat. I have had him since he was a little kitten and he is the sweetest, most gentle cat. His best friend is my 120 pound dog. This is a natural light shot, as Fred was napping in a dark room while a small ray of sunlight partially lit his face. This photo definitely tested the dynamic range of the Nikon.
Beautiful capture in that light. I had a cat named Fred once, and also a dog called Timothy Frederick St John Rover. (I added Rover because I thought the other names might be considered a tad ostentations.)

@wordpixman Thank you, Arthur. Great name for your dog! My dog's name is Sam. (Sam and Fred - from the 50's singing group The Impressions)

@marieooi Thanks, Marie - I am searching for interesting lighting and found it with this image - it was challenging to get the exposure correct on this capture of Fred!

Great capture of Fred and I can imagine that the exposure with such contrasting light would be tricky. Well done

@stuckinoz Thank you, Janelle. And yes, exposure was very tricky on this one, I was amazed it turned out as well as it did. I like tricky lighting situations, they produce interesting images (when I get it right).

@nikkic Thanks, Nikki. I am always searching for amazing light. I don't always find it and even if I do find it, images don't always work out, but I like this one.
