Hi Sara! Xena and I say HI, and hope you continue recovering well!

Hi Xena, Sara said thanks. She is more curious today. Definitely more aware of her surroundings. Day 3 of feeding her went well.

That’s great to hear!

Praying she pulls through for you!

Thanks Amanda. I doubt she weighs 4 pounds. But today was day 3 of my feeding her. She really seems to like the senior puree food we found. My husband wraps her gently in a towel and I use a 20 ml syringe to give her about 10 ml several times a day. I should be able to increase the amount tomorrow slightly.

We are more hopeful now. She is more alert and actually is very accepting of the feedings.

Thanks for the well wishes. Hope you get a record buck.

I will love to see Sara that healthy again. You have a beautiful kitty.

I read up on getting Sara to eat. Seems it can take a couple of weeks before she will be able to eat on her own again. And two months to put weight back on. Going slow. She licks her lips after each little bit I squeeze into her mouth. When finished she grooms herself like it was all her idea. Crazy.

One of our five could be Xena’s little sister. This is Lucia when we got her, back in May.

Cats are a little crazy I think in general. And they pass that on to their owners to some extant I think too. At least that’s my non professional opinion. Anyways Sara has a loving owner who’s taking great care of her.
I’m praying for her recovery, Hang in there.

I love it, she’s a cutie. Especially the little Groucho mustache

I’m pulling for you and Sara Shelley!

Thanks. She is the best cat we have ever had. She spends every morning sitting with her dad so he can brush her. Also keeps the dogs in line.

iphone or samsung?
on an iphone to edit a photo tap on the slider icon on bottom right to get to the tools

Adjust the white balance, warmth, tint, and blue tone is what I do.

White balance is before taking the picture, the rest are afterwards.

It's hard to adjust after the fact with so much blue in the photo.

The other thing you can do is turn off the blue lights and run only whites during the picture.

You were able to change my photo! Amazing.

Try it with the orange first, the try it stacking the orange and yellow (if it has both).

Ok so same setup I'm using. You'd be amazed at what's possible on an iPhone camera. These were both done on a base model iPhone 16 using the lens kit that you are using. Not to mention, these were edited using the base iPhone photo editing software; no AI was used. I agree with @tbrown.

What I would do is use the macro lens filter, then snap either the orange or yellow filter over it. This would allow me to get up-close photos without having to zoom in so far and lose photo quality. I would try to get shots from multiple perspectives, and eventually settle on one that I would like. Once I landed on a photo I liked, I would take it into editing and edit the photo. Usually to bring out the colors, brighten up certain areas, that sort of thing. I never wanted to "over-edit," which is very common for people to do (I've done this before, and most people who do photography will do this from time to time)

I used to use a legit camera (Nikon 5600), but I find my phone is able to take better photos up close, as I don't have the appropriate lens for it

Also, I'll provide a real-world example below. This is a pretty terrible photo I took while I was up in Blue Ridge a few weeks ago. This was a quick photo I snapped of a tank I saw in a storefront. I didn't set up for it or anything. Mostly, it was a grab-my-phone-out, shoot a quick photo, and leave.

Why am I bringing this photo up? To show a before-and-after with photo editing. So below is the before photo; the after is after I touched up the photo. Again, no AI was used, and I didn't use a lens kit either (I don't lug that thing around with me, haha)

Thanks for all the help everyone. I will give it another go. Just knowing it's possible makes me want to do it again. I want a top photo of Chowder. And plan on getting another crocea to add near it.

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it.

While not being typical music that is posted, this, and things of this nature, is what I have been vibing on recently.
