Subject Woes

I don't think a lot of people realize how hard it is to work with cats for subject matter. They are finicky, fast and restless.

For example: When trying to get a lighting shot like this,


I had to put up with him shaking his head, moving, twitcing, cleaning, sneezing on my camera and in general looking at me like:

Duuuuude!
Moving on. I wanted to capture him with the white screen behind him to bring out his colors like this:

yet he decided he was going to catch dust particles first.
Long cat is long

Then of course we have the King of the Hill moment I thought was cute:

He, on the other hand, thought his space was being invaded:

Attack!


I was glad, however, that after everything was said and done, he provided me with some after shoot entertainment.

I keel you!

  1. Wow, your composition in these is fantastic! I love the lighting in the first and second shots! So happy to see an update here!

    (I need to pull my card out of mine and get to working on my shots...)

  2. thanks! The kittens are a real pain, though. I wish they would hold still more. For every shot I manage to get I have to trash 10-15. I will have a massive update after Halloween, I'm sure.
