Description Today we had a walk with my friend :iconyegin-the-great: and that was really a kitteh day!
We've met this gorgeus fella in the street out of the sudden and he seemed to like me that much to wait till i get my camera and make some shots! He's so furry and fluffy that i've got the instant association with the small Cloud!

Hope you like this pic! Because i really love taking pictures of the street cats or cats in the street (huge difference by the way!) Some more cat-shots to come!

+ true colours of the cat here ->

Life always seems to be full of those little moments when something catches your eye and you just want to get out your camera and take a photo of that moment to keep as a memory. For me, this photo represents one of those "snapshots" of life.

You said you took the photo while you were walking on the street, and when I look at this, I can definitely feel the spontaneity. It's unpretentious, yet meaningful. At first glance, it appears to be just an everyday scene - there's an ordinary car and an ordinary street - yet somehow it feels special too. It's particularly interesting how the cat almost seems to be posing for the camera - he looks like he's just about to turn towards the viewer, but not quite. Also, animals are much harder to photograph than humans, so it's great that you managed to catch him in this position!

The use of black and white in this photo is effective - I compared it to the colour version and this one definitely makes the cat's cuteness and fluffiness stand out more (like a cloud - as you mentioned). The composition in general is quite good; I'm not a photographer myself, but as a suggestion maybe you could experiment with different lines, angles and viewpoints to create an even more original shot.

Keep up the good work!

by the way, why is apperture f9 here?

Ilman-Lintu In reply to hardcorish [2010-09-14 14:41:40 +0000 UTC]

well, i shoot in the Tv mode - that is i choose shatter speed and apperture is set automatic by the camera. It's more comfortable for me this way - to be on alert and catch the moments like this.

oh i see.. well, for me using Tv is somehow more easy than to use Av - at least i get the desired result faster XD

yeah! He was incredible! he's by no means homeless. Looked like he just decided to have a stroll outside and we really met him strolling along the sidewalk, then he out of the sudden jumped on the car when he saw us and heard us saying that he's beautiful... and started posing on a car!!
