Lily <\/p><\/div>Cat photography is a real art. Since I don\u2019t have the artistic skill, for me it is a crap shoot. I shoot endlessly and sometimes get decent pictures. There are many crummy ones along the way, however. One of the most frustrating aspects of using a digital camera is that the cat often moves before the shutter clicks. I have more pictures of the tip of Sophie\u2019s tail, Max\u2019s butt, a blur of Lily\u2019s fur\u2026 And then there is the matter of capturing the true spirit of your cat.<\/p>\n
Do you have trouble catching the essence of your cat in photographs? I\u2019ve been photographing Lily for almost a year and finally, FINALLY, captured her personality in a photo. She is just about as sweet as they come, yet her photos sometimes seem to show a hint of attitude\u2014or should we say \u201ccatitude.\u201d <\/p>\n
The photo of Lily that I\u2019m sharing today represents my vision of her\u2014my sense of her. Here, you see pure innocence and sweetness. Or is this simply my perception? <\/p>\n
For this shot, I had to lay belly down on the living room floor and focus on Lily as she relaxes inside her blue tunnel\u2014a delicious splash of sunlight glowing from behind her. I did not have to use the flash, so her eyes look more natural. I just love this shot. What do you think?<\/p>\n
Catscapades, True Cat Tales <\/em><\/strong>is illustrated by around 40 photos of Lily and many other cats: Winfield, Katy, Daisy, Frigie, Tober, Bootsie, Gomer, Crystal and others. One reader told me that she really enjoys having the photos so she can put the cat more visually into the story. <\/p>\n Speaking of reader comments\u2014oh my, they are so positive. I\u2019m preparing to post a new collection of comments at the Catscapades page: http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades.html<\/a>. <\/p>\n Order your copy today\u2014remember, Mother\u2019s Day is around the corner. If you order it early enough, you\u2019ll have time to read it before wrapping it for your mom, mother-in-law, grandma\u2026<\/p>\n You can also order this book through Amazon.com. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cat photography is a real art.
