Life is back to some semblance of normal. Yeller is fully recovered, back to his usual cat self. Frisky when we want to be quiet. Snuggling and enjoying all the attention. Playing with a string that he just has to catch. Chasing Rossfeld and defending his turf. Chasing squirrels up the oak tree. Watching the birds outside the window in the morning light.
This image is my effort at back lighting. I used my 50mm lens (which I do most of the time these days), set the metering to spot metering, and focused on Yeller. I used Program mode. The camera chose ISO200, f / 2.0, 1/60sec.
The morning light coming in this east window is just dreamy…perfect for what I wanted to accomplish.
And purrfect for a cat obsessed with birds.
Today I’m also sharing my words and another image at Vision and Verb.

Beautiful shot of Yeller, all softness and light. Glad to hear he's doing so much better now.
I can see the softness of his furrrr. I am glad to see he is doing better too.
Beautiful shot Deb 🙂
Beautiful shot! The light is perfect! Glad to hear Yeller is back to normal!
Great shot of your sweet cat! The back lighting really works here.
What a beautiful back lit experiment – I love that blown out window which serves as a wonderfully glowing backdrop for Yeller.
Sweet portrait, wonderful light!
I didn't know your cat wasn't well, so happy to hear Yeller is feeling better. Worrying about our animals, hurting for them when they hurt, is difficult and wears on the heart.
You succeeded with your backlighting. Yeller looks delighted to be perched and watching the world. Glad to hear that lens is being enjoyed. I do think I'm going to treat myself when my, that's MY!, tax return money comes in. Perhaps anticipation is a good thing.
Deborah! I love, love, love your image of Yeller. The backlighting is gorgeous and serves to emphasize the lovely, long curve of his back, and his shoulder, and the tips of his ears. And, the colour of his fur. All of it…it is simply beautiful! (And, I'm so happy he is well! 🙂 Blessings.
Beautiful portrait! Glad he is feeling better. I miss having a kitty, they are so fun to photograph.
