Thanks again for the tips. I'm a little more satisfied this time around. BTW, she was cat napping on the sofa and I pointed and said "SMILE" she looked up and I snapped it. hehe!!

I'm still very early in the learning process here so forgive me if the F stop and the ISO are not normal. I took several photos using different settings before I snapped this one and those were the settings that made the photos look the way I was wanting them to. I'm really looking forward to my books getting here so I can study some of this stuff. Right now it's pretty much a crap shoot.
