It's been a very gloomy day today, and the light inside the house was very poor, so I stepped outside on my patio to see if anything interesting was happening there. I played with my camera a little, took various shots of dewdrops and some fresh green buds that seem to be appearing everywhere, then came inside to start dinner. I kind of liked my freshly cut veggies on my cutting board, and tried to make an artsy composition with that as well.
My tripod was still in the living room, and while my hubs and the cat were taking a nap after dinner, I experimented with a longer shutter speed and a higher ISO to get a properly exposed photo. I moved the tripod closer and closer to the cat, and did a photo shoot with her as well.
So here we are, at four in the afternoon, not knowing which photo to choose today!
Okay, ... so how about this one then? It's not the most artistic one I took today, but it's a photo I could not have made a couple of months ago. My photo skills have definitely improved since I have been taking class. I'm hoping to develop them even more by playing with that camera as much as I can for my Project 366!

Adorable! I love the subject of your photo! I love how you've captured both of them in their own space. And they look so cute sleeping. ;-) Where can I find out about project 366? Perhaps, I can join in on the fun (although busy, I'd like to make time for it). I would like to take a photography class, too. Perhaps, it will happen this year. Happy New Year! Best wishes to you!
Jientje. I hate to tell you this - but your cat is bald.

That's a great photo. Makes me want to take a nap too.
It's a lovely photo. All your photos look artistic to me Jientje.
Nicely done! And love the sepia tone.
Yes, the sepia is wonderful!
I like that you caught each of them asleep. You hubby seems to be like mine - able to sleep anywhere. :)
I think that was the perrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect photo op for you. Both taking cat naps! I love it! I think I need to take a class and learn all about my camera that I have had for 2 years!
een heel geslaagde foto! en zo gezellig, ik zou er bij willen gaan zetten
