Thank you both for the input; Frank the cat is a favourite with everyone who's seen the image. Funny how that shot was due to a totally unplanned occurrence - I was switching out some objects in my light tent, and he hopped up right in the middle of it between takes. He appeared ready for his close-up, and who was I to refuse such a command performance ?
He was a rather spry and photogenic little guy, esp. considering his age at the time, (17).
Forgot to mention I just upgraded to the Composer, as well the optic swap kit - the self port was taken with the dual glass, and Milady with the zone plate/pinhole optic, (which is a blast to use!)The Composer is such a great lens, and the additional optics have opened a whole Pandora's box of creativity - my hats off to the people at LB for this latest in a great series.
Hard to believe I almost had to refuse delivery due to financial issues, (some idiot took off with one of my lens bags, $8000 that insurance won't cover for 30 days). Needless to say, I'm extremely glad I was able to find a few spare pennies for this expenditure- it was well worth it.
