Would you humor me and check out these photos?

lol! Thanks!

Tracey, my advise is to get as much light on the black cat as you can... (don't use flash that always makes everything look flat and icky)... Get her/him near a window, put all the lights on in the room with the cat near the window if you have to... If you have a big white sheet of cardboard or paper or best yet - foam core board, use that as a reflector and reflect your window light back at the cat on the opposite side... If you can change your settings in your camera, bump your ISO (film equivalent) up to the highest you can go (800 is what I like to use in low light situations), and open your aperture as wide as you can (I don't know how point and shoots handle aperture).

Do you have any type of editing software? If you can go into the editing software and change levels a bit, you should be able to get some detail back into the cat's fur if you still didn't manage enough light on the cat. (I use Adobe PhotoShop CS, unfortunately, I really don't know any other programs)...

What awesome photography and the kittens are sooooo cute!!!

I really can't get over how awesome they are!!! I got so excited when you said you used a "cheapo" camera, cause I was like, "Sweet, I'm gonna get one"...you know, thinking i'd get the same results--haha, yea right-- and then looked up that camera and it's over a thousand bucks!!!

I guess that's cheap for a professional. You are simply AMAZING though, really!

Please post more pictures soon!!!

Awww... thanks! The camera should be under $1,000 by now because I only paid around $900... but see, SLR digitals can run up to $16,000! lol!!! My D100 was almost $3,000 and I was considering a D2X for $5,000 but I coudn't justify it when I know dang well that D70 would suffice.

WOW, those are amazing pictures!! And the subjects are soooo adorable!!

Yep, I did the same thing. That is why I said I had a cheapero camera.

Outstanding! That first pic is to die for and perfect that you set them off with that white fur rug. Perfect

Absolutely wonderful photos!!! The first one is my fav!!

My first thought was "adorable kittens". Then I was like "I want that camera"!! If you ever get tired of your Nikon D70, feel free to ship it to me. I've had my eye on that model for awhile!!

Those are great photos! The kitties are ADORABLE!!!!!

I'll take them all, they are absloutely OMG

Wow - you truly are a gifted photographer, Jodie. These photos are outstanding, and such beautiful subjects, too!

Jodie -- Yet another fan of your pictures here!!

I remember when you posted the story of the kittens being born! Has it really been 4 weeks already?? They are sooooooooooo cute.

Wow, beautiful pictures, you are a great photographer.

Thank you all so much! I think I may just enlarge one for the vet's office... that would be neat

I gotta run... whew... I could tell you all why, but you would be shocked. Let's just say that my DH's X-wife was taken away to a mental institution last night... yikes!!!!

I LOVE your photo's. The little black kitttens look like like tiny bears. They're adorable.
