Day 19. January 22th 2011

The return of the cats...

Cobweb was just begging to be photographed today. So lets simple jump to it.


I love my cats very much and things I love are often at the barel end of my camera lens.

I have been thinking more and more of looking at doing pet portraiture. I love animals and I'm usually pretty good with them. I haven't been bitten by a dog since I was about 7, I still have some scarring on my right buttock from this encounter (i'm sure I'll show you after a few pints of ale). If anyone has any idea's, suggestions, research material, or pets which they'd like to donate to me for target practice (London only guys... unless you would like to pay my train fair) it'd be most appreciated.

As always you can't have one without the other so here is the lovely Star looking a bit disinterested in my camera, so I decided not to bother her to much.


I intend to play with water tomorrow. I'm going to try long exposure to give a silky smooth quality to the water and high shutter speeds to freeze falling water and give it a striking and not often seen composition.

Untill tomorrow.... oh damnit, i've now got the Littlest Hobo theme tune in my head...

  1. at one, cats are quite simply the best animal to have as a pet!

    I just did a photo shoot with a dog for someone, they...are....the hardest darn things to keep still..once you're out of treat, your out of time! Cat's probably will be worse as they only like to sit in a preffered location and no other! Meow!

    Great photos btw, the high aperture gives a great effect on the one of cobweb.

  2. I love high apertures. Those f1.8 50mm lenses are a dream to use and a bargain for less than £100. Shame the other 1.8 and 2.8 lenses cost thousands.
