New photos - may explode your head (you were warned)

Okay.. so today I used some of my xmas 'bonus' to buy a shiny new Canon EOS 7D camera, a Speedlite 580 EXII flash, and some other bits and pieces (mini soft-box for the flash, lighting stands, reflector and reflector holder, etc).  I've only just begun playing around with the new toys but already they are paying dividends, in the form of new, high-res photos of the committee which are so incredibly adorable that they will make your head explode into candy.

There are more pictures of Cookie than Spot, simply because Spot is a black kitten, and therefore the camera was having a hard time metering the exposures.  Yes, I know about using FEC, I just haven't been able to work out how to configure it on the new camera.  That might be a job for tomorrow.  Anyhow, behold the unlawfully cute photos of the committee!  (click for larger versions)
