Wherein the Cat Hates me

Sooo.. I got a new lens (Pretty 50mm Nikon).. but nobody will pose for me!! Ive heard wonders of its low light capabilities, and so decided to try it out.. on the cat... the cat which HATES pictures..

First - Direct flash.. can you see the hate building?


So I got a diffuser (Puffer Plus)... and.. it works.. but shes still not happy..


See how impressed she is?? (Working on focusing and stuff.. just her eye is clear.. weird)


Think I got it!!


Shes still not impressed
