Okay, yes.. I took this at 11:30 last night.. *cough* but, it was a set up for today's theme.

I should post my set up pictures.. had a lovely idea.. capture sleeping orange cat- He's named after a Lion after all. Aslan. Put the plants around him, and Hark, One of my Favorite songs.. "The Lion sleeps tonight"

Naturally,he sleeps, I set up the plants, He moves, he eats the plants.. (which were all piled on one side of the loveseat) He runs around, goes anywhere but where I want him.. FINE.. I'll ignore you, and just leave the lil ole camera & tripod set up and ready.. Shooing away the cats from Eating the tripod occassionally, and I'll just read. but, just in case, set up another picture with a stuffed lion.. and test out my timed 6 second exposures.. (I did want a night shot)

Finally, cat finishes playing with the stuffed lion.. (He dragged it OFF the couch later.. too.. I took a flash picture.. ) jumps down, goes elsewear, (I read some more) FInally comes back around and lies down at the BACK of the couch.. (not on & next to the plants like I'd envisioned.. Brat)
Okay, I can work with this.. put the plants in the forground.. (dang.. can't see my pretty orchard I put in there.. but FINE..) GLARE at the husband who kept talking to the other cats, and moving around.. 6 second exposure with a sleeping cat.. fine, no problem.. TRY it with one, who keeps moving his eyes, ears, head slightly to see what my hubby is doing.. (finally walked over to the hubby, GLARED.. "What?......" Glare some more.. do air strangling motions... leave.. nuff said..

Finally managed to get this one clear shot in! I did do a PS Omni light overlay to highlight the cat, in the purple, with another clear one over it.. I'm converting raw files and I'll put a PaD outtakes Gallery in a bit.. Some of the behind the scene shots.. lol.

And.. after wireless difficulties.. Here's the Outtakes http://www.pbase.com/jajlo/pad_outtakes
