Bella in black and white
After reading Mike’s post in https://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2025/07/15-things-i-like-about-my-camera.html [theonlinephotographer.typepad.com] about his b&w only camera, I decided to become “artsy” – so I set mine to b&w and took a photo of our cat in front of my computer…
The cat’s face has a bit of motion blur, because she was about to turn her head, and I had an aperture of f/4 and as such, the exposure time was 1/60th of a second only. The camera chose ISO2000 for this itself, and I really don’t mind the “grain” – film would have been far worse in that regard (and I only use film with up to 400 ASA). I took that image with the camera held in front of my breast, and the rear display tilted up as some kind of “viewfinder”. Olympus E-M10 Mk2 with the 17mm/1.8 lens by the same maker, and the jpg image is right out of the camera, unaltered.
As always, thanks for viewing, and for reading.
Caturday
Last Saturday in May ’25, and I realised that I haven’t published many cat photos lately. So here are two from today:
In the front: Bella
On my computer monitor: Tuna (RIP)
Photo taken with my Google Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS, converted to b&w using The Gimp
Like always, thanks for viewing.

Happy birthday Bella!
Today is Bella’s 3rd birthday. So far, I’ve got one photo of her hanging out in her cat tree hanger which she seems to like lately:
I wanted to get one using my studio strobe, but she didn’t want to get on that table – so from there I only have a selfie:
Had to get new batteries for my remote senders & receivers for those studio strobes, and currently I’m also charging the ones for the speedlight (a manual one made by Yongnuo). So maybe more later.
And as always, thanks for viewing.
First Caturday in November ’24
As always, thanks for viewing.
One of Bella, one of Cookie (aka Samson)
Took this one of Bella some 9 days ago, while she was resting on one of our sofas in front of the piano:
And yesterday I took another photo of Cookie, the male Birman neighbours’ cat (they call him Samson):
And as always, thanks for viewing.
Bella’s excursions…
Bella’s excursions are getting longer…
Yesterday when I first let out our small white female #cat Bella, she was back after less than an hour, and ate a bit. Then I let her out again – only to wait for more than 6 hours until she was back.
Today it was a bit less than 3 hours only. I “filmed” her coming and going using both my desktop (self-built AMD 5700G with 32GB/6TB) and Mitchie’s really old laptop (Dual Core Celeron with 2/256GB) using motion with its default settings of 640×480 pixels and 15 frames/sec. Two machines, because in 2 of 3 times she comes back another way than she went (window vs door). And in between, a neighbours’ cat was looking for her; yesterday it has been all three of the male neighbours’ cats…
I hope she enjoys these last days of our indian summer, and – like every cat owner – I hope that she’s safe out there…
Thanks for watching.
