Some time in the past two weeks, Ping stopped looking like a big baby and started looking like a little adult. Tomorrow is his 4 month birthday! My boyfriend just got a digital SLR camera, which is good for me because it means :ryo:. We are still learning how to use it, and a skinky trumps a still life (or whatever) as a subject... Apologies to dialup users...it was so tough to narrow them down...

And my favorite one:

All that remains of the UV burn issue is a little bit of scar tissue on the left lower lid. It has been steadily shrinking and will hopefully be gone in another shed or two. Right now it reminds me of one of those prison teardrop tattoos:

Great pics :clap:
They're better than studio portraits!

I love the second one. A true look of glutinous contentment on his face!

Ping is looking great Amanda! :D Glad his tail and eye are doing Ok! It seems you're really getting the hang of a DSLR. Good job working with depth of field in blurring the background. :2thumbs: You can really make great photos when not shooting on automatic. Great shots on your Picasa page too!

Keep 'em coming.

Thank you, everyone! Special thanks to the dialup users for letting them all load.

The camera is incredible, but there are limitations. I failed to mention the 3+ hours spent in Photoshop resizing, color correcting, adjusting levels, and airbrushing dust from my couch. :sweat:
