Description

Well, my mother drove to Iowa today to pick up the brother of Clancy, whom I have only one image up of yet (out of maybe 900 I've shot so far....)

Lots of work on this one, he's light-orange and white, so to get the high contrast between the orange and white fur took some real finessing. Six adjustment layers to get the bw conversion and contrast correct.

Shot with the Sigma 24-70/2.8 EX. Yeah it could benefit from HSM, but the focus isn't *slow* and I don't care what anyone says, it's SHARP. Definitely rivals Canon's L version. Yeah some of the image is soft, but it's a macro shot done wide open. Look at the critical focus, on the nose. It's dead on and razor sharp. And at 1/3 the cost of the Canon, this lens really is the photographic steal of the century.

Don't you just want to squeeze him?

*edit*
So, I was thinking as I was working on this, "This is soooo dA," and lo and behold, it gets 10 times as much attention in the first 10 minutes as my recent sexy legs in stockings did! Silly dA people, you and your kitties :P
