Hilfy Cat

I have been thinking about getting a cat for a long while, and, with the usual shenanigans of trying to get a cat/kitten in the modern age, I ended up with Hilfy Chanur (although I tend to call him Hilfy or Hilfy Cat).

Named after a female character from my favourite CJ Cherryh series (Chanur), Hilfy turned out to be a boy, and not a girl as first thought/informed. Regardless, he’s a bit gorgeous and somewhat photogenic, which is good because I am taking pictures of bugger-all else these days…

The first two were taken about 3-4 weeks before the second two, and you can already see the difference a month makes. What a handsome fella.

All four photos were taken on my X-H1 and X-T2 with a Viltrox 56mm f1.4 - which is a lens that I am becoming to rather like. I took a punt on the Viltrox because I wanted a portrait lens and the Fujifilm 56mm is rather too rich for me at the moment (even secondhand). So far I am quite pleased with it. More to come, from the lens and, no doubt, of Hilfy Cat.
