Description Cat NipsSam and Tabitha thought it time I showed some more photographs and have pressured me by meowing, head-butting and general moggie malarkey into presenting these shots. Photographically, there are couple of points of interest, for example, in this first image of Sam sprawled over my chair you might think this should have been a straightforward capture. However, Sam is grey and white and he is resting on a black surface with further greys and blacks in the background. As I've said before this black-white range can cause problems for the camera's exposure meter in that depending on which part of the image is evaluated for exposure, so the whites are over exposed or the blacks are clipped. Here I have tried to keep the whites under control and so the rest of the image might be considered under-exposed. From a cat perspective, you are seeing Sam start to display a characteristic Maine Coon attribute - hanging or draping body parts in mid air, in this instance one leg. This behaviour is seen

Wow! (this, and the other, same-shot) are amazing to me! - that you were able to even capture such a shot at All! Wow, very impressive! One gets a sense of what it's like For the cat sailing through the air! ( unlike other, cat, 'in-flight' shots that I've seen)Β  Maybe it's the angle, that makes me feel that way,, I dunno... But wonderful catch!! !!!

Thank you for that, Linda. I'm going to have another go with my 5D camera and a different type of lens to see if I can sharpen things up I think you are correct about the angle - head on gives some foreshortening and that adds to a sense of motion. Sam has just noted this comment as well ... keep it up and an FoS may be coming your way.

Cheers

Yeah, me too, I think so... I haven't seen any other head-on shots before, come to think of it.


Β  Ha!Β  Well just don't tell him it was my idea, if you decide to try 'awakening' him and Tabitha when "they" are sleeping. lol !!

Going to try with my 5D Mark III and a different lens to see if I can do better.

Many Thanks
