The Black Cat

This cat amused herself one night (near midnight) near my workplace. I had my camera with me ... and decided I'd try for a few shots. It was dark (LV 2), and the shots show it. (Try handholding 320mm at 1/8s, even with IS, and yes, that was wide open, max ISO, and later pushed in RAW.)

In the last minutes of June, in walked this black cat and rested herself next to that ivy-dressed tree. She avoided people, so I just sat down carefully on some steps, maybe 10 meters off, and since I carried my camera bag, why not try a couple shots?<br />
