The cat wonders what I am at

The cat wonders what I am at
An old friend saw my 24-year-old picture (next to this one in the stream) and suggested it would be difficult to do with a modern digital camera. I thought that it probably would be no more difficult.

So I set my Fujifilm X100T on a pile of books, aimed it at the then-sleeping cat, set the shutter at B, put in a locking release cable (from the 1950s), and took in hand a little flash (from the 1970s).

Then I did a 15-second exposure with three mes and one cat who meantime had been awakened by my flashes. She seemed a lttle put-out and a moment later turned so her face was away from any other flashes I'd produce. Smart but lazy cat.

I changed it to b&w because the face in the extreme upper right was clearer that way.

Ha ha! Kenny, thanks. Whatever I can take credit for, I will. But really I set the timer and had fifteen seconds to move as quickly as I could, and without much forethought.

I think there were three flashes. The first was of the cat; that flash caught me darkly in the upper right corner. Then the other two flashes were of my own face.

I didn't notice my book there until afterwards and I like that it is there along with the pencil and note-paper stuck in it. :)
