Balthazar

Balthazar

That neighborhood cat is Balthazar. He's a small black cat probably about 8 lbs which is on the small side and has the right mix of being friendly but also being unfriendly at the same time. That's probably how he lives longer than the next cat. He does hang out in front of bushes and I have a feeling he's looking for mice. Gladly, he has a tag, and knows how to get home, even if it's many blocks away. My camera was jammed up in black and white and the photographs are actually shot in almost darkness. It was about 7:15pm and the exposures were ranging from 1/10 to 1/2 of a second at f/1.8. The last image that's in color was on Auto setting and came out in color. Balthazar didn't seem to mind that I was shooting his photo, but even stood fairly still in these tough lighting situations. We all have neighborhood cats, and this one is mine.
