sometimes my cats don’t much care for a big camera being stuck in their personal space (which is actually quite extensive when they are trying to sleep) but this time he played along, so i thought i’d share some pics.
from this perspective, looking into a cat’s eyes, you really get an idea of how mice and unwary birds feel just before their luck runs out!
sunday afternoon i visited sophie & sam at their lovely home and coaxed them (with MANY dog chocs, salmon and kebabs!) to remain in one spot long enough to have their photos taken. it seemed that their favourite thing to do was immediately approach the camera to get a pat, so their owners’ help was required throughout.
golden sophie was most obliging and posed in her favourite spot (after a suitable amount of chocs had been offered) without any shyness, even allowing some close-ups to be taken later on. poor sam, on the other hand, had a bad experience that morning: some horrible passer-by had thrown a stone at him over the hedge, and frightened him into the bedroom closet, so he wasn’t sure about my camera; and every time i lifted it up he looked worried and ran away. however we eventually convinced him to ignore the long lens for brief periods and got some nice portraits of him too.
here’s the top 20…
i love animals and cats are a favourite for me so it was awesome to photograph my good friend’s four beloved cats early this month. the cats were a lot less excited about me being there, but the two ginger boys cooperated (grudgingly).
it was a lot more *interesting* getting the two girls’ photos but in the end they gave up their resistance and allowed me to work. the only dodgy part of the evening was that i couldn’t lay down to shoot in the leaves on the lawn because they were full of dead bees… weird factor +8
here’s the favourites:
this one made me laugh…
