A new lens, thus a cat

[Garbz]

Whenever I get a new lens there is never anything interesting to go and take photos of. So I go and find my cat:

Thanks for looking.

Looks like a young cat from that angle.. how old?
Cute too btw

I guess the lens has to be a sub 2.8 .. I say 1.8

Nikkor 85mm f/1.4. Bit of an early Christmas present to myself.

It's about 4 years old now. The cat just never really grew up, or grew brains either which is probably why it's staring at me upside down . It's a tiny little thing. My other cat is easily twice it's size.

Haha I love the contrast and/or emphasis on the eyes

The eyes & white wiskers are awesome!!

You have a very cooperative cat, lol. My cat hides under my bed whenever I open my camera bag.

I really don't. It was a case of walk up the stairs, dive, snap. Got the picture of the cat in surprise. 5 seconds later that cat was running direction kitchen assuming the mere fact that I was around meant that it was time to serve here food for the hundredth time that day. Photographing cats is more about luck than skill
