Macro Kitty

Wednesday, November 17, 2010


I tested my macro photography skills on my 2-year-old kitty Precious. She's a Maine Coon — a long-haired breed. Getting her to pose for these shots was maddening to say the least. She wouldn't stop moving, so I had to change my camera settings from aperture priority to shutter speed priority to freeze the shot. Not too bad, huh?

Cats don't really care to be interupted in their daily routines.I am not sure if one I have is going deaf or just ignors the world.

You had a beautiful subject with Precious, Judt, and she really seems to live up to her name.

Hi Judith -

The cat photos are intense. I like them!

Sidebar: If you are so inclined, go to www.youtube.com and type in the search engine "cat and alligator" and see a cat scare off an alligator.

Judy the photo shots are great thanks for commenting on Shades of Pink sorry it took me so long to get back. Right now i am resting in the shelter of the most high but in the natural struggling a bit from the buffeting waves. hopefully i will be back in the saddle again soon. I will keep in tap.
love and prayers to you my dear Sista Eternal~Soroya aka Firedancer ( Definitely dancing in the midst of the fervent flames of fury but not alone the 4th man in the fire is right there with me)

Very lovely Judy. (I've taken a quick looksee at your other images as well but didn't comment there).
I have the same problem with my pets - if I can call it a problem. The don't want to strike a pose just because I want them to strike a pose. But then again, those may be the best poses afterall.
Your photos are all breathtaking. I am a professional amature(sp?) photographer at best, but I find it very soothing to see with the eye of my camera what I tend to miss otherwise.
Keep up the beatuiful work.
