Something New, Something Different

1. New Speedlite
2. 16x9
3. A cat that was fascinated with #1

Normally Socks normally doesn't like the camera (he has only been blipped a couple of times this year). However, today was a different story. I put my new speedlite on the camera and aimed the flash at the ceiling. His eyes and ears perked up and was instantly fascinated. He stretched out on the bed to watch the fireworks and was able to get this shot - My bedroom is not large and had the 85 mm portrait lens on the camera so I was pressed up against the wall and just barely managed to squeeze him in. : )) Here is another shot when he was sitting further back - Should I have blipped this one instead?

Today was another workday for me - In at 4:45, out at 2:45 and I'm wiped. Sitting down for dinner and then I have a date with the couch and the TV. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Looking forward to a relaxing Sunday - may get motivated and put up the outside Christmas decorations...
