New to this forum

[nonamexx]

I'm new to this forum, but not new to photography. I have only recently become more and more interested in photography and decided to join this forum in the hope of getting useful knowledge.

I am quite conversant with the basics of photography, photographic equipment, terms like aperture etc. and also basic rules of composition (though I don't always remember to use them!). You can take a look at some of my photos in Flickr: Flickr: harishankar's Photostream

Also I thought I'd share a recent capture here.


Cat on the wall by harishankar, on Flickr

I love cats and their expressions and I thought I got this guy at the right moment. Look at his narrow gaze, looks like he strongly disapproves of me.

I don't yet have a dSLR and I thought I'd wait until I can justify the heavy investments. So it's P & S (bridge actually) for a while for me.

Graininess is probably due to the auto white balance and/or sharpen filter I applied to make the fur on the cat stick out a little more. The original image wasn't so grainy.
