Cat Portrait
I love taking photos of the cats. Usually I don’t get very good shots since cats do what they want, when they want. That means that the perfect shot will be gone in a blink of an eye. I was able to take a few of Calisto this past week that I thought turned out pretty good.
I was taking pictures of shadows as part of a weekly assigning for a digital photography forum. I didn’t take any I wanted to submit but wanted to share this one. Usually if Calisto is just sitting somewhere, she will come to me especially if I’m still for longer than two seconds. But surprise. She actually stayed seated for a minute or so, allowing me to snap a few pictures of her.
It’s nearly impossible to pose the cats, so I just have to work around however she is seated. Luckily with Calisto, she will follow me when I’m in the yard, so I can get her to come and be in the general area where I want her to be. For this shot, I just needed her out of the shadows and in the sunlight. I also didn’t want the house or anything else in the picture.
It is seldom I get such a good pose from either one of our cats. It’s fun to take their pictures especially when they are cooperative about the whole process.
