SO COLD!

I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to weather, and today was no exception.  At 10am, it wasn't even 40 degrees!  Because of this, the little guy and I stayed inside for most of the day.  He was actually in a great mood today cause he finally went down for his naps like he should.  Unfortunately, tonight is not going so well...

Anyway, my pic of the day is:

T1i, 50mm f1.4 lens...1/125shutter speed, f3.2, ISO800...no flash...

End of week 2, only 50 more to go...
Random thoughts and outtakes...
I did spend a bit of time looking around the eb for pictures of styles that I like...I'm getting more comfortable with black and white, but I think my favorite is the "color popping" look...which can easily be taken too far...but looks great when it is not...so, this is a bit of my experiment...the first picture is "natural", the second one is high color with a lot of noise reduction (smoothing), and the third is black and white...

I'm a bit torn, cause though I like natural...I kinda like the second one because it does pop out at you a lot more...might try to do more fooling around with post production to get my own style with that...I do like color so much...

Anyway...here are 2 outtakes that I thought were funny:)  In the first, he is very excited about petting the kitty, though the kitty is much less enthusiastic...in the second, he is a bit sad (not sure why, he had been happy a minute before:)):
