At this time’s kittens are fortunate captures from my latest kitten photoshoot. I did spend time attempting to seize enjoyable kitten antics (like final week) however generally the kittens appear nearly considerate with moments of kitten stillness as in the event that they wish to watch moderately than be tiny hell elevating hooligans. I attempt to get a few of these quieter photographs too, I hope you take pleasure in them.
Kitten Lenses
I attempted to utilize each my longer lens (Canon 55/250 mm) and my 50 mm. The 50mm lens takes sharper pictures however doesn’t zoom so you need to “zoom together with your toes” which is difficult with a room stuffed with kittens. I managed to get round this by sitting down or kneeling rigorously and letting kittens come to me. The longer lens got here in helpful for kittens inflicting mayhem additional away.
My first share is of two pretty tabbies. I didn’t seize their names, simply their poses however they had been completely happy to lounge on one of many guests who took pictures as nicely. You possibly can see a bit f smartphone high left. The entrance tabby appears to be questioning. What? Ought to I play? Or, ought to I nap within the solar? The wand toy suggests this second of stillness might not final lengthy.
The second kitten was a extremely fortunate seize as I struggled with publicity a bit for the darker shades of fur.
A drained kitten begins to go to sleep on a sneaker, having fun with some sunshine in the course of the noisy hubbub. The individual sat on the ground didn’t transfer whereas the kitten napped and you’ll see the solar shining on the fur of a nicely sorted kitten ready for his without end dwelling.
The third kitten, one other black boy, exhibits {that a} carefully cropped {photograph} can deal with a beautiful kitten face as soon as the busy and unsuccessful background is eliminated (I’m together with the second unedited shot). The unique photograph appears to be like unfocused and isn’t a hit, however see how it’s reworked by cropping. The black kitten’s eye is sharp and his fur clear as he watches different kittens operating round. I used to be happy to see I bought the settings proper!
You possibly can see three layers within the {photograph}. Closest to you there’s out of focus carpet then, just like the filling on a sandwich, a sharply in focus kitten and, past him, a sightly overexposed background the place a pink shirt is catching the solar. It’s not good, however I really like how quiet and considerate the kitten is.
Have you ever ever taken kitten pictures? Do you discover them tougher to snap that extra grown up cats?
