Everyone say hello to Mingus, my cat.

He doesn't like smoke so much, and will be happy when I finally quit (I'll be happier as well).

This is a cute little triptych I took last weekend in my apartment while a friend was over hanging out. We were having a cigarette or two and Mingus as you can see showed his disapproval.

I try not to smoke near him and usually he goes away and doesn't sit near me. But when I get my camera out he likes to get in a shot or two as you can see (or three here).

Tech Notes: ISO was turned up, no flash. It was difficult maintaining quality at the small 800 size Trek Lens requirement. This original file size is over 70MB so you can see I did what I could. I wanted to try squeezing the shot a bit so tightened the width in "Image Size" by not constraining the proportions. It's something I'm going to experiment with in the future.

Hope you enjoy.

Funny series shot here!
It could be a good campaign for the Lung Association.
Good thinking!

Fun triptych, Daniel! I like how the cat has its head turned around when your friend is actually taking a drag! Good POV on the pictures, and nice ambient colours. Good job!

Great sequence shot. Nice colors and Mingus really adds some character. Cats always seem to have so much personality.

I quit smoking three years ago next week so I know how hard it is. Good luck.....

hahaha your cat is really funny!! I do like your compostion!!

70MB??? You sure there wasn't a trojan virus on that thing? :)
Great triptych. You are very good at those. It is perfect that Mingus is looking back right as she is taking a drag off her ciggarette. Nice job. JP

Hahah, Mingus is not amused. I don't think I've ever seen a cat roll it's eyes before ;)

I like the lighting in this shot and the narrow view you've created in each element. Of course, Mingus makes it ;)
