Thank you! Incidentally, what browser are you using? I checked it in Firefox, Opera & Safari on both Win7 and OSX.

Firefox on my OSX. However I have the css for my page to display the content at 400px width. So it squeezes any photos over that. Actually looked very cool. I forgot about my css and thought you did that intentionally till I saw it on yours.

Here's screen shot:

That's what my Mac looks like :) I need to install a SuperDrive and have been putting it off cause I'm afraid to mess it up :\

I logged out and brought up your page as anonymous - its beautiful! But yeah, boo on css :(
Date/Time: 2010-06-27 20:39 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] thesweetestnote.livejournal.com
I can always modify it. Don't really know why I did that :| I may move it up to 600px or 100%

I think it's awesome that you called your cat Marco Marko.

One ping only.

WOW, that is gorgeous!! And I'm viewing this on my phone, sure it's better full size. Bravo!

Why thank you! It was 1/3 lucky shot (only Marko's third or forth time out of the house since we got him a collar) 1/3 shooting for HDR (http://ehowton.livejournal.com/327482.html), and 1/3 TONS OF POST-PROCESSING because, well...cats don't exactly stand still for the three HDR frames needed :/

A dash of being at the right place at the right time, a soupçon of fantastic Texas clouds at the right moment, and voilà!

Totally understand kitty difficulty, much effort went into this (not 'shopped, I swear!):

That expression? Yeah - priceless. I have a 75th Birthday picture of my grandfather-in-law who has wears a similar expression despite the fact he's holding balloons sitting next to a cake and wearing a party hat. I love it!

I'm convinced that cats are really aliens and eventually they will dominate the world and that includes humans. We'll be slaves to their masterful plan. Letting Marko out of the house - baaaaaad idea because he'll signal the others and begin the massive invasion of planet Earth.

I'M DOOMED!

Hopefully Kitty Purry will put in a good word for me. I kinda despised the feline species until she put her cute kitten spell on me. Now it's beautiful friendship. I can honestly say I am now a cat person.

Admittedly, your last cat was trying to kill you.

Look at little Marko!

I love this photo; well worth the time spent cat herding and post processing. :)

Thanks! I made one teensy little change after reading your comment; a 50% midtone burn on poor Marko. I've been dismayed that he looks like he was pasted into the photo despite the fact he was there - a complication of adding the same image of him into all three HDR exposures.

*shrug*

I hope it looks more natural now.

It's a very awesome work of art. Looks like you had a VERY expensive studio lighting kit on him. Pasted not he looks. if anything his paw on the left gives it that pasted illusion. I like it because it makes you really look good while the brain processes the information.

Is it...isn't it? Pure art!
Date/Time: 2010-06-27 21:06 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] ehowton.livejournal.com
lol - with that avatar I though you were [livejournal.com profile] quicksilvermad (ultimately changing my response in the process - wouldn't that have been embarrassing!

And yes, the left paw gives me problems because it half covered in over-exposed grass which doesn't match the HDR grass. Grrrrr.

But thank you for the kind words! I try often. Hell, I try more than most. I just don't succeed as often :P

Awesome photo! Cats are so.. majestic. They always look like they own the world. I love them.

A dog believes, "YOU pet me, YOU feed me, YOU shelter me, and YOU love me. You must be a god."

A cat’s intrinsic belief is, "You pet ME, you feed ME, you shelter ME, and you love ME. I must be God."

I can tell you that every cat I've been owned by believes the latter ;)
