Totally Random Tuesday

Kitties!

We thought we'd better post some photos of us, just in case you've forgotten what we look like!  Also, Mommy has a ton pictures on her memory card from learning how to use her new camera; Daddy bought her a Sony Cybershot point-n-shoot for her birthday.  She loves it!  It doesn't shoot like her Canon DSLR does, but it's just the ticket to take along on walks and rides.

Kona, using an artsy-fartsy effect.

Grayce was her very first subject!

Sweet Pea helps test the zoom function. 

The Baby helps with depth of field. 

Scouty is another zoom subject!  Mommy was trying out natural lighting on the Catio.

Apparently she should have used the flash on Rupert.

CC poses nicely on the "pet" setting.

Group shot, fooling around with shutter speed.
L to R:  Salem, May Ling, Grayce, Felix, and CC

Tiny Johnson, with the cute setting on 10!

Over-exposed Salem.

Sylvester is perfect. 
 Mommy was very pleased with this one. 

Um.  There are so many things wrong here...starting with the fact that Felix LIKES wearing his fancy silk rainbow tie! 

Holy Cod is Mommy a flasher!  Maui is all washed out.

At least May Ling's baby blues always shine through.

Happy Tuesday!

Yikes. Point and shoot just sounds like it wil be easier for the pawparazzi to bother you kitties! Well, we loved seeing your beautiful selves anyway. :)

Punapippuri said...

These random photos are most excellent, and we think all the shots are perfect. How could they not be ? However now the pressure will be on if there is a camera to hand all the time. And those point and shoot batteries can last a very long time.....

Sparkle the Designer Cat said...

My human usually uses a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX200V to shoot us - it's lightweight and takes pretty decent photos for a high-end point-and-shoot. It's very fun... for her! I've gotten a little sick of it.

Simba said...

Great pictures of a bunch of our favorite kitties. Mom always says that portability is an important feature in a camera, because if you don't have the camera there when you want to take a picture .......... well you know how to end that sentence!

Patty Woodland said...

I keep saying I want a point and shoot. It's hard to haul the Rebel into the goat pen all the time. I think something I can slip in my pocket would be easier.

May Ling looks aggrieved.

Stacy Hurt said...

I can see it now. The new feature at The Lounge: Formal Fridays Featuring Felix! Good to see alla y'all!

Xoxo

Tina T-P said...

Mr Puddy said...

My mom try to find a light camera which can take kitty in action because her one Olympus .. When I move, the photo of me always looks like a ghost cat...Boo ! Tee..heh..
Thank you to share with us
xoxo

The Furries of Whisppy said...

Mommy wishes there was more natural lighting in our house so she doesn't have to use the flash so much.
Somehow, we think your Mommy's birthday present isn't going to give you kitties much privacy....

dArtagnan Rumblepurr/Diego Hamlet Moonfur said...

You guys look AWESOME!! You're so lucky to have a talented photographer in house!

Crafting Queen said...

You Mummy is doing a great job, super photos of all you adorable kitties. Hugs Anesha and Skipper

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Awesome awesome awesome!! Love them all, even less than perfect ones because, well, because it's kitties!!!!!

Sometimes, Cats Herd You said...

All wonderful shots. Our peeps mostly use their eye-phones to take pictures of us because they are handy to wave in our faces. You get much better detail with yours.

Maggie from Stillness at Cherith said...

Point and shoot cameras are great for tucking into your pocket!
stunning kitties =)

Knatolee said...

Looks like you are doing exceedingly well with the new camera!! Onwards to Photoshop! ;)

Brooch Czarina said...

Pawsome pix of your masters!

ElinaMK said...

I went all ooh and aah at Scouty & Sylvester's pictures (am partial to gingers AND tuxies)... But then all you kitties look good no MATTER the camera's (and the human's) 'settings', heh heh.

And Felix looks all 'business-like'.

CATachresis said...

Those point-and-shoot cameras are brilliant, especially with a 8gb memory card. Except of course if you are the intended subject of every darned shot!! >^oo^<

You guys always look so cute - even when you mom messes up a setting.

Glad she likes her new camera.

I'm still recuperating from yesterdays party.

Purrs,

Mariodacat said...

Great pictures mom - good job. Loved meeting each of you all over again too. Don't always get to see all of you if you are hiding somewhere.

D Ma said...

to steal from spinal tap, i think the cute setting was on 11 for tiny's picture.

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Oh these are some great pics! I have three camera's to catch all the cat fun in my home. A point and shoot, a powershot and a big heavy DSLR....so maybe I should take more photos of the boys and less of my junk??
hugs, Linda

Derby, Ducky said...

~*Connie*~ said...

What an awesome bunch of kitties!

Cat Street Boyz said...

Our Mom has always had canons but since she got her hands on a Nikon, she just totally loves it and no need for a flash in low light! She first had trouble getting rid of the green dot that was pointing on us....she kept wondering why one of us would swat the other when she pointed the Nikon at us till she realized the camera was putting out a green subject light....ya had to be there, it was funny.
All of you are looking great and your Mom is doing great with her new camera=^Y^=

Hilary said...

you guys look amazing!

Brian said...

You all sure haven't lost the magic, you all look terrific!

Ellie VanCaster said...

Barb and TheDailyGs said...

Your camera has a cute setting. Isn't that a little bit redundant?

Congrats on you millennium!

Shaggy and Scout said...

13 is our lucky number today!

Rene said...

We like randomness. :-) That photo of Sylvester IS indeed fabulous.

Marg said...

The picture of Sylvester is great. But we just like seeing everyone,whether too bright, too dull, or what ever. But I bet it is fun playing with the new camera.

Mumsys Kitty Korner said...

We like all those pictures and you all look fabulous! Those point and shoot cameras can work pretty fast so we should get to see lots of pictures of all you sweeties. Congrats to your mom on the new cam. Hugs and nose kisses

Tillie and Georgia said...

Oh boy!! We love when other kittie's Moms get new cameras! We get to see all the pawsome pics of kitties and we do not suffer Mom chasing us around pleading for us to pose!! hahaha
Purrs Tillie and Georgia,
Treasure,Tiger,JJ and Julie

Eric and Flynn said...

Lots of great photos with the new camera. Sweet Pea is looking delectable of course.
The dots are back!!!!!

Layla ( Cat Wisdom 101) said...

Wow what a kitty cornucopia. Happy Tuesday!

Cat Chat With Caren And Cody said...

Mom has a Sony Cyber Shot too but she thinks it is the other one. Judging from her photos...maybe you should worry? Oh wait!! You KNOW what you are doing. Scratch that.

Janet Blue said...

Your mommy has been very, very busy. The pic of Sylvester is superior. We also are fond of the pic of Baby. But let's face it, we love all the pix. Purrs and hugs, the kitties at www.thecatonmyhead.com, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette.

Maxwell, Faraday and Allie said...

Mowzers! Mommy's jonesing for a *MINI* DSLR - there are a few nice ones out there she's thinking about.

They use Canon 5D Mark IIs at her work, and those things look like they'd get HEAVY after a while. Not that we kittehs make her work - or pay in any way - for a photo shoot of us. Nope. Wouldn't even cross our minds. *innocent look*

How do you like your point-n-shoot? Mommy needs to get SOMEthing, because SOMEhuman accicdentally left HER camera outside overnight and (wonder of wonders) it won't stay charged now. Pffft, silly woman.

Katie Isabella said...

I loved every picture and everybuddy looks toothsome. Where's the stew pot? I see several candidates. Tiny, you DO look adorable.

Lin said...

You are surely getting the hang of it! it was nice to see everyone's photos today. :)

The Cat From Hell said...

Yowzers! It is so good to sees yous all! An me must say, that my Mommy would be furry happy with ANY of those shots!

The Island Cats said...

It's great to see all of you...but look out...with that new flashy box, none of you will get any privacy!

Cathy Keisha said...

I dunno. They all look perfect to me. In contrast, look at the photos on my blog.

sparkyspitfire said...

well, I LOVE teh fancy silk rainbow tie. verrah handsomes.

savannahspawtracks.com said...

I luvluvluv seeing everyone in so many different settings and light exposures. I have not let Mom test her camera too much...maybe I outta let her have her way with it...what'd'ya think??

littlemiao said...

lovely photos! My kitties would like a silk rainbow tie just like Felix!
