I've always loved the name, but have never used it for any animal. I had never really tried to find that constellation either, but Thursday night (the night the kittens were born) it was a really clear night and I was looking up at the stars. When I came back inside I told John that a group of stars had really struck me so I looked it up and it turns out that it was Orion that I was seeing. So it really just seemed to fit and be the perfect name for the little guy!Originally Posted by StacyD1987
Aw, you chose Orion for the name of kitten #1? I like that name. I can find that constellation every time I look up in the sky!
Macro is still macro... I think by opening you mean aperture or f-stop. I thought ISO was for film cameras only?Originally Posted by Mawilouwl
Still adorable!
For the pics, since their eyes are not open yet, you might want to try with a flash. If you take a picture close to them, you want the ISO to be low (like 80) and the opening to be small. If you have a macro mode, it will help get a better definition too. I know that pics with flashes are not the best ones, but when there's no good light, we often have no choice. Of course, when babies open their eyes, I guess you'll have to find a way without flash! By the way, I'm not sure about the terms used in english for "opening" and "macro" (I'm french), so if anybody could tranlsate, I would be glad...
Digital SLRs also have an ISO sensitivity for the sensor. Much easier to change than film.Originally Posted by twstychik
