Hello All!!

I stumbled upon this site 9 months ago and have really enjoyed reading the comments and ideas ever since. I love landscapes, nature and portrait photography
I bought my first camera (Minolta SRT101) while I was in the Navy on a Med Cruise back in the early 70's. Unfortunately those photos are long gone due to a bad case of cranial-rectal inversion, on my part. I bought a Canon 50D with the kit lens a year ago, and just bought a Canon 50mm 1.4 for myself for Christmas. I hope to someday soon get a good telephoto for wildlife and my grandkids sports activities.
Thank you for all the great information and insight.

Testing out my new 50mm on the lazy cat

Ok...I'm the quickest one to criticize a photo here on the UHH...I see plenty of blah shots and I'm going to say that this shot..the bokeh itself, the colors in the bokeh juxtaposed against the color of the cat and bed...the focus on the eye....draws my eye (and no...it's not as sharp as it could be)
All those elements make for a compelling, enjoyable, interesting image.

Thanks for the quick feedback on the cat. I've read many of the comments here on bokeh. I have to admit that I was impressed by the effect when I first became aware of it but realize it can be overemphasized/overused. Thanks again!!!

Welcome Jimbob, thanks for posting. The cat looks quite content, and was nicely captured.

Thanks Bret> I love this site. I can't wait until I retire again and have more time to "focus" on this passion.
