MING...THE CAT WHO ACTUALLY RULES MY HOUSE



Today was a pretty relaxing day and as I puttered around with some various "lightweight" domestic tasks I saw Ming staring out the window. This is a common occurrence for this indoor cat, but he was fairly intense today. Grabbed the camera with the 50mm lens and started snapping away as he "chattered" at the monster-sized crow in the front yard. Ming and our other cat, Abacus (yup, that's where the business name is from), are a constant source of humor, joy, and sometime annoyance for me. Events like bouncing off my head in the middle of the night are often mixed with the best cat "moments' one could ever wish for. These shots are great reminders that our cats are basically just miniature cougars that tolerate us in their castle.

I love the "bokeh" (or quality of blur) that the Canon 50 mm 1.4 lens gives...if you are a photographer, I definitely recommend a prime lens in this focal length. An absolute must for any kit!
