The Trouble with Photographing Cats

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

I have always wanted to be able to take amazing photos of cats, but sadly it turns out that cats aren't as easy to snap a photo of as you might think.

After taking heaps a failed photos...





...I finally decided to go a watch a video to find out what I was doing wrong.


As soon as I finished watching, I grabbed my camera again and took some more photos. This time they turned out much better.

I played around with the shutter speeds, took some photos using the flash, tried to capture the cat's personalities better, and played around with the angles.






I'm rather proud of my photos.

Do you like cats? Which is your favourite photo?

    Would it be terribly awful to say that I don't like cats?
    They're cute in pictures, but I'm always afraid of being scratched, lol.

    All your photos are utterly lovely, Sophie!

      When we got our first cat I was afraid of being scratched, but I soon lost that fear.
      Thanks Jordy!
