I had been following him for months and before that I was spying where all the wee holes in the trees where to get some indication of the preference. Next time I hope to get a crisper shot of him, my AF point just missed his eye. f/5.6 should have had enough DOF, but meh. Also the day I take the Z6 instead of the D500 which would have put more pixels on him.Often heard, seldom seen by me. Nice.
Didn't you just post this yesterday?
YUP! all cleaned up now, thanks~!Didn't you just post this yesterday?
Demonstrating the difference that digital makes? Or do you think this could have been achieved equally well with analogue means?Not a 'proper' photo as such. I spotted Digby about to leap from my garage over to my shed the other day and filmed him in slow motion. I took a still mid-leap and edited it a little in Snapseed.

By analogue do you mean film? Why wouldn’t this work with film?Demonstrating the difference that digital makes? Or do you think this could have been achieved equally well with analogue means?
I have been interested in asking "what's different about the digital?" for about forty years or so. Usually that is in relation to an end product. I'm curious about differences in what can be done at capture & post process in the digital domain that could not be done before, if any.By analogue do you mean film? Why wouldn’t this work with film?
I’m not sure if this is relevant for your question, but we had this discussion awhile back.I have been interested in asking "what's different about the digital?" for about forty years or so.

Yes, exactly. I shot a small video on my iPhone - just a few seconds - and then I paused it at the moment you see in the picture and did a screenshot. I then made a few basic edits in Snapseed. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it's how I did it.The way I'm interpreting this is that he shot it in slow-motion with the video component on his iPhone camera and then took a frame from that to create a "still" image, then did a little tinkering in an iOS editing app to make any needed adjustments and that was that..... The problem for me is that it doesn't look real, looks as though the cat image was just stuck/inserted into another image rather like a composite is done, because in spite of the cat's outstretched leg position obviously showing him in motion there is no indication or sense of movement in the same way in which one would achieve that by "panning" with a still camera. In that kind of shot the cat would be clear but the background would be nicely blurred, suggesting speed and movement.
