It's Black Cat Appreciation Day!

So Indy celebrates in one of the best ways he knows...by sitting in a warm dryer:

Indy

I forgot to check the white balance setting before I took this shot. It was set to "cloudy" because I had taken pictures indoors the day before and wanted to remove the bluish cast you get. I also forgot that I was set to center-weighted metering, too.

I guess the mistakes worked out in my favor.

(Shot with the Nikon D300 using the 50mm f/1.8 lens; aperture-priority with the aperture set to f/2.8; camera chose 1/60 sec at ISO 400; center-weighted metering; cloudy white balance; normal JPG.)

  1. I saw that it was black cat appreciation day today! I think Indy definitely fits the bill. This photo just made me grin! It looks like there's a spotlight right above her head.

  2. How do people find out about all these appreciation days? I never know what day it is ... literally most of the time, lol.

    Lovely photo of Indy. Very good of him to sit right in the middle:)
