Weekend Cat Blogging #276: A quiet morning
It’s a quiet, rainy morning here. So we are just relaxing a bit. Luna was sitting quietly on the carpet for an extended period of time, which gave me an opportunity to play with the cameras. First, a detailed black-and-white portrait (36mm):
Next, it’s over to the iPhone camera for more fun with the Hipstamatic app:
I think both the green lens effect and the monochrome of the first image capture qualities of this morning. So does this nice big yawn:
A quiet, moody and gray morning like this is actually welcome. It’s an opportunity to rest and turn inward.
Weekend Cat Blogging #276 is being hosted by Patchouli and Pam at Sidewalk Shoes.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at When Cats Attack!
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

“The Squid Shifter is an effects pedal that makes a sound that is a cross between heavy distortion and a synth.”
Here is a video of the Squid Shiftter in action:

Weekend Cat Blogging #275
For Weekend Cat Blogging, some more photos:
Here we see Luna in mid-step in her favorite area for morning sunshine. I like capturing her in mid motion. The lines and curves of her limbs match the chrome bars on the chairs.
The extreme hours at my new job have been continuing, including this weekend. And while I like the work I’m doing, the prolonged intensity is taking its toll. But I am noticing that it is taking a toll on Luna as well. She is a bit more stressed, although from her relaxed poses it would be hard to notice:
Spending time with Luna and working with these images, even if only for a few minutes, is a form of relief.
As mentioned in the previous article, the Peninsula Human Society and SPCA is working to help the animal victims and their human companions who were affected by the devastating fire in the nearby town of San Bruno this Thursday. Please visit their website to find out more.
Weekend Cat Blogging #275 will be hosted by LB and Breadchick at The Sour Dough.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Mind of Mog.

Weekend Cat Blogging #274 and Photo Hunt: Heatwave
Summer has finally arrived with a heatwave that brought even San Francisco into the mid 90s F (30s C). And our apartment tends to get even warmer:
Luna was a bit uncomfortable in the heat, but it was a good excuse to nap (as if cats need an excuse for that). And a napping cat is a good excuse for experimenting with the camera (such as fun with low f-stop settings):
It’s been another busy week – yes, that is a familiar phrase here at CatSynth – and I haven’t been home very much. So I left fans running for Luna, and even a small ice pad out for her on the hottest day. I think we’re both a little tired out, physically and mentally. But it’s a long three-day weekend, and the fog has once again returned with its calming and creative influence. I think we will enjoy it.
Weekend Cat Blogging #274 is hosted by the handsome pair Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind over Matter. Jules, the black cat, often appears when we host WCB, so we’re returning the favor this week.
Photo Hunt 229 is hosted by tnchick, with the apropos theme of Hot.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
The monthly Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by Nikita and Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat.

CatSynth pic: Luna and EM-Tronic
From rarebeasts on flickr:
“Can’t get a camera out without luna turning up.
The EM-Tronic is a small hand held synth that makes a large range of electronic noises.”
You can see the EM-Tronic in action in this video:
Quite a variety of sounds in such a small box.
